I'm a Catholic mother of four children, and I want a divorce. My husband is worthless. He won't work, and our bills are piled up high. Probably today our power will be turned off again, for the third time this year. Last night I served noodles and refried beans to my children for dinner because it's all we had. He didn't work yesterday, even though he has work he could be doing. He's just lazy and doesn't care about anyone but himself.

So, now, I have to choose between keeping our family together like the church teaches we should, and letting my kids grow up thinking no work ethic is a fine way to live. Or I can choose to leave him, try to raise these children without a father, and have to leave the church because of my divorce.

Mainly I worry about the kids. This is no way for them to grow up. But is growing up "welfare babies" really a better choice? What kind of example am I being doing that?

No matter what I do it's wrong. Let them grow up with a warped example of family or grow up without a family? Either way, they are the one who will suffer.

But, staying. . . I don't know I can suffer through that. After all, I am the one trying to make something out of nothing. I'm the one who has to figure out how to take care of my children with no food and no power (hopefully not soon!).

Plus, I'm teaching my children to lie. "Don't tell anyone at school what we had for dinner last night." "Don't tell anyone we don't have power (or water)" "Don't mention to anyone that Daddy didn't come home last night."

Plus, I lie. "Don't worry. It will all be fine. Don't cry, I'm going to the store tomorrow for better food." I wasn't. No money to do that. So, I look my children in the eye, tell them Daddy loves them and doesn't mean to be so grouchy. I tell them we'll have more food tomorrow. I tell them Daddy's working late when I know he's not working at all. I lie to them.

I'm sure no one is still reading this. I've learned over ten years of marriage that no one wants to hear it from me. No one cares about me. No one likes me or cares when I cry my stupid, manipulative tears. I know it's not true, I am not really worthless. He is. But, he loves to tell me I cry to try to manipulate him. He loves to tell me I expect to much, complain to much, or my personal favorite - all I care about is the kids, not him.

On that one he's becoming right. I used to care about him, but not so much anymore. Now my main focus is on the children, and trying to convince them everything is okay.

I know if I leave, I will be alone for the rest of my life. I'd like to believe I care about my kids enough that's okay. But, honestly, I don't want to be without someone to love me. Why does life have to be so hard? Why do I have to choose between happiness for me and a good life for my children? Why do I stress? My children should come first. That's a no brainer.

And, will it be a good life for my kids? A single mother isn't going to be able to give them much. I don't earn much money at my job. I'd be gone all the time working to pay the bills. How is losing him and then losing me going to be better for them?

Maybe I should just stay. Forget my own happiness and stay for the children. Not that they are happy here with himacting like this. He doesn't abuse them. But, he doesn't love them. They, however, love him.

If anyone is still reading this pathetic excuse of a confession, tell me what you think I should do. I need better advice than I get from my preist. he, of course, feeds me the party line. "Families should stay together. Single moms are what is ruining our country. The children are the ones who suffer."

Should I stay or should I go now? Like pop songs are good advice! lol...[More]

I recently was laid off work and I feel depleted, angry and my confidence is non-existent. I was unjustly laid off and there is nothing I can do about it. I have a limited amount of funds-should get my by for the rest of this month and through September and maybe part of the next month if I am lucky but after that I will not be able to afford the house I am renting and will have to move back home with my parents. Which, don't get me wrong, I am thankful to have that option as so many people don't even have that back up plan. However, I have worked so hard for what I have and don't want to lose everything. If anyone knows of any available positions within the Terre Haute, IN area or possible the Indianapolis, IN area specifically with the Mental Health field, Social Services, Public Relations or Human Resources fields please send me a comment.


Thanks for listening.

They're always fighting and I really can't see how they love each other.  My mom is stupid and my dad has an angry temper and always treats her like ****.  Just today she tried making conversation with him on the way home and he snapped at her and acted like he didn't want her around, which is how he always acts towards her.  My mom periodically tries to stand up for herself but always fails because she has no wit or tact.  I'm ashamed of this because I'm Catholic and think that marraige is binding.  I'm not angry at Catholicism, I'm angry with my parents because they've always had this kind of relationship and I can't understand why they would get married in the first place when neither one shows the least bit of love for the other and they don't try to make things work out.  They're relationship is just barely there.

I met someone when I was 25, He became my best friend. He had a girlfriend and I a boyfriend. We found we were soul mates and fell in love.


We tried to hide it even from each other, until one day we both admitted to it. We decided to be together,but then his girlfriend got pregnant and feeling responsible he married her. I was at their wedding and I wished I was dead. She treated him like crap and she sensed how he felt about me and was always hinting that we had a affair. But we hadn't.


We finally couldnt' take it anymore and made love, then it ended up going on for over 20 yrs. he divorced her, but I refused to leave my husband cause I didnt' want to hurt him.


He ended up getting another woman pregnant, and again married someone he didn't love.  But the difference is I really like her, and I will not betray her. I know he stays away from her as much as he can, and still loves me and me him > Only now that we are older we realize that our timing was wrong in our lives, and we dont' want to hurt anyone, So we actually go to lunch together, and still are soul mate, but their is no physical touching. We dont' want to stop being friends cause this would kill us, so we behave and this way we can go out as couples. When I am around him all I want to do is fall into his arms and passionately kiss him. He says that his thoughts of me are non stop. When we are all together he lets his hand always rest on mine, or when he walks by me he makes sure his body brushes me. And this is killing us. anybody know what we can do.?

No one knows it since I dress well, well groomed, neat as a pin at work but at home OMG. A total out mess. Not a floor to ceiling - but messy , I don't vacuum for months and months (can only use one plug or the circuit flips off), when the one cat tosses a hairball, or his food, its there for a week (or 2) till totally totally dry. I still don't want to touch it. Ewww. Like walking around it is any better. but somehow it is?  Laundry will sit on the floor for a week or two till I put it away. there are things i would get repaired, but I am never letting anyone in to see the mess. I am too embarrased by it.  Mail? Sits on the front seat in  the car until its a huge mass of junk mail (bills I take in and pay online promptly, everything else...) Its just so overwhelming that its ...overwhelming. there have been times when I make an attempt and I get out of breath or start wheezing when I vacuum, so I here the vacuum sits on the floor- not put away. Napkin that fell by the front door, been there since May? Island in the center of the kitchen? some old mail no doubt, not sure anymore, then some clothes I was ironing, then some books, and maybe some cans of something or air freshener or (HA) cleaning supplies i bought. <sigh> and here I sit typing on the computer :> dare i mention the litter boxes i moved out of the laundry room (no washer/dryer, just a room) to clean starting 2-3 yrs ago...

You were promoted during my vacation.  I came back and took one look at you and I was fascinated.  I think I covered for my excessively long stares, but it was so unexpected.


I just thought I had a silly crush on you, but wow.  It just grew exponentially until the next month on the Friday before my vacation and I sat in my car waiting to see you walk out.  I was breathless and I could not stop imagining touching you and feeling your lips on mine. 


I have no idea how I have survived the last 9 months.  You have become a good and trusted friend.  Your smile always makes my night better.  I just feel better when I am around you.  I know that nothing will ever happen between us and I am okay with that. 


I just really want to know what it would feel like to be so close to you that I could feel your breath on my neck.  I want to put my arms around you and feel you do the same and then just hold on so tight.  I need someone in my life like you. You are such a good person.

I have 2 young children and have been married about 4 years.  I have also taken in my 17 year old sister because for a while my mom just didn't care.  I have her on my insurance, I pay a small amount of her car ins. every month, I even provide her with food and of course shelter.  Oh and lets not forget the car that I pretty much gave her. 


Anyhow, her boyfried lives with us to.... thats a whole story in itself.  Anyhow, both of them treat me like garbage.  For some reason the respect my husband.  I guess it could possible be because I am a stay at home mom and they think I do nothing all day.... OK.  Whatever.


When they moved in with me her b/f was supposed to help pay a small bill (he was getting payments for his dad dying... but his mom ended up taking it all).  So I've been footing a bill for a kid that isn't mine nor is he related to me.


Anyhow, he graduated last night and is looking for jobs because he is moving out.  She will be going as well because she feels as though I am a Bi*** and she hates me basically.... I am really ready for them to be gone.  All we do is fight and I am tired of it.  They lay in bed all day pretty much anymore since they are out of school. 


I can't wait to see how it goes for them though.  I really can't.  They think they know what they are doing.  But I don't think they do.  She will be left without health ins. and she said she has her car ins. figured out.... OK.  Whatever again. 


I didn't want her to go about a month ago, but I am under so much stress I just don't care anymore. 



Is it bad that I hope they fail?  This guy who she is dating is the biggest idiot seriously.  If he can get something from you for free you bet he is doing it.  And if he can't hes gonna figure out a way to.
