Everyone will have their own idealistic version of polyamory, and even if the ideal doesn't work, and each group needs to make particular tweaks to their own dynamic, it doesn't mean it isn't polyamory. Here are some good explanations: http://www.morethantwo.com/polyamory.html...

Health and dental coverage should be good, at least til the end of the month or 30 days after the official termination date - should be able to use vacation time to extend termination date. Then again, this is his problem to solve. I'd suspect that his bosses were facing similar frustrations...

Sending positive job hunting vibes to you guys. I think you might find you can cope with a bit of lost privacy when you know it's necessary, benefits the family as a whole and temporary. I've been thinking a lot about why we (society as a whole) needs so much more indoor living space than we...

This was a HUGE help for my husband and I. I'm works of service and quality time. He could never understand why I didn't want to be close when he refused to help with housework or blew off my requests for help. I would complain about him never being home and his response was to stay home and...

My mom had to do this with my Grandmother once (at my prompting). Turns out my Grandmother had a small stroke that would have gone undiagnosed without my mom writing a letter to the doctor. The doctor can't give out personal information, but there is no law stating they can't receive it. Most...

This sucks! Just a thought. Send and email or snail mail letter to his counselor. I know, he's a big boy and should take care of his own shit, but the problem keeps getting bigger. You say the ADHD meds aren't working, could these particular ones be be making the problems worse? Are they...

Likely he won't do the "SELF" help stuff. From things you have said I recognize quite a few similarities to my husband. Sending reading material is pointless and just gets ignored. I had to schedule an appointment with the counselor and tell him to show up or we are done. Once we started...

He's ready to be life long partners after barley meeting you, while still living with another girlfriend? He's on the rebound and looking for a place to crash since he will no longer be living with the ex, soon to be ex or whatever girlfriend! Very likely. RUN! Unless you are one that...

Hugs!

Route 66 (aka: I-40) is nothing but dirt until you get near Flagstaff, AZ :P. Those kind of trips with the grandparents are the best.

Treat this like identity theft. Notify the banks, get cards re-issued, change all pin# and passwords, etc. and get a copy of your credit report (sign up to get one every few month, even if you are charged). Have the bank cards go to the bank where you can pick them up - do NOT have them mailed...

I was so glad to be able to meet up with you when you were at Disneyland. I had a great time.

As a mom, if someone came in and expected to CO-PARENT my kids (existing and any future), I would be livid and wouldn't want them anywhere near me or my kids EVER. My husband's best friend, over the years, has become closer than an aunt to my kids, but she is NOT a co-parent. I am the parent...

:D

Of course she does, her mom is abandoning her so she can get her rocks off! THIS is the main problem! Jill has been abandoned by her mother and she knows it. Anytime a parent is gone 4-5 days/nights a week kids feel abandoned and develop deep resentments. You are just the nearest target for...

I don't see this, you ARE making compromises to keep her in your life. Sometimes what you see as a big deal, isn't for the other person and vice versa. Sure it's not exactly what you envision as an IDEAL situation, but that's just life, a series of compromises and sacrifices we can live with...

Me too :) So keep track of the good times in 4 hr chunks or such (and how long it's been since she ate last when the melt down hits). Give her stickers for each 4 hrs without a melt down and a reward when she builds up a bunch. If she can express the frustration she is feeling WITHOUT the...

That happens, especially when you haven't quite figured out the communication thing yet. Just keep talking, keep your once a week talk, even if you both agree the only to say is "nothing new this week, we're good for now". Do a tag search here on "boundaries" and see what others have done and...

I loved visiting DC 2 years ago. My favorite was the WWII memorial. I took my then 17 year old, who is a military and history buff. It was fun watching him get so into visiting the museums and such. I need to go back when I have a few more days to see all the stuff I missed. We also went to...
