I am telling you all this not to brag about myself but to tell you I am an ordinary person who even 11 years after my husband's death can be pulled into the black hole of grief.

I’m so devastated but feel like I could also lose my chance to become a mother which is soul destroying. But if you think you would stay with him if you were to get pregant because you "can't do it alone" get out NOW. Carole has worked as a family and individual therapist for over 16 years, and is a former online parent coach for Empowering Parents. There isn't a thing he can do any different than any other person caring for our kids and drinking too.Perhaps we should think about all the ways we’ve become better women because we didn’t want to be like our mothers. This woman has been pretty direct with your husband, so I think he needs to be equally direct with her and make it clear, politely, that he’s not interested in a romantic relationship with her or anyone else because he’s happily married.

I’ve been married now for 26 years and my husband has told me that when he was single many women ‘friends’ would proposition him. Then there are the women you’ve described that make me ashamed they belong to my sex and wish they still had to wear a big scarlet A on their chest. The best thing you can do right now is begin your recovery from the family disease of addiction by going to Al-Anon or Nar-Anon, educating yourself like an expert on addiction, and getting counseling for you and your children if they are willing. And if that's what you resort to, beware of multi-platform/device games, you might have to take away ALL his devices.If your child has been caught stealing, you might have wondered, “Why would my child do this after everything we’ve taught them? I know this is terrible but I’m genuinely scared that if I end it, I’m also ending any chance of being a mother.

But do it too many times, and your friends might not choose to support you, and they may not trust you either. And although I have never been in the situation, I have made my share of bad relationship decisions.Most maids have to be constantly supervised, either to make sure they are following the procedures you requested, and not doing as they please the minute you turn your back, or because they want to do as little work as possible. The act of stealing isn’t an emotional response (done out of anger or for revenge) and isn’t happening because of a delusion (a strongly held false belief) or a hallucination. If not, we could be arrested for murder like the woman in Austin who was murdered by her boyfriend’s female lover. Who knew this blog post would wind up with all of these heartbreaking stories here in the comment section? My mother would kill me if she knew I was telling this story, but my father began an affair with a wealthy socialite when we summered in Maine, as did her family.
