Getting a life

Don't you all think that sitting in your comfy home, watching Dr. Phil, and judging some else is cause for getting a life?  I'm not trying to be rude when I say that.  I just think if everyone spent as much time on themselves personally instead of condentrating on someone elses problems things would get better.  I"m writing this because I need to get a life of my own too.  I really feel bad for Michelle.  I would hate myself if I put my kids through that.  Truthfully though I have yelled at my kids before.  I have had road rage before.  And so have you all.  I'm glad Dr. Phil doesn't judge people.  Instead he offers help.

12/08 Extreme Follow-up

Quote From: jimsgirl

I really like the poems!  I don't have any kids, but I am going through a divorce and have a boyfriend and have niece and little sister!  I never thought about how I treated my family until now!
Now this is a nice way to open a parent up to being tender with their kids.  I hope all the people posting biting comments like "take her children away" are willing to be part of the solution next time.

For your Kids

Michelle, 

Don't listen to those people who are being so judgemental.  You should know that your are a very good mother for seeking help.  Everyone has issues....EVERYONE>  Everyone also spills unintentionally on their kids.  Don't concentrate on guilt unless it moves you forward.  Your kids will not be damaged if you break the cycle.  Instead they will learn to deal with things in a healty way.  And they will learn to overcome their setbacks in life, and to learn from mistakes and grow.  Show your kids where it's possible to grow from.  It will make up for everything that has been done already.  Also, if you learn to forgive you will be giving that gift you your kids as well, and they in turn will learn to be forgiving of you.   

fyi....Being judgemental is a way of trying to make you feel better about your pathetic faults.

First stone

Quote From: swann23

After a year of hell I found out that I have bipolar.  This happened after I had my first baby.  I now have two a 13 month old and 7 week old.  I have been in your shoes.  I have gone off for no reason.  I have felt like I was going to lose my mind.  I can't beleive some of you are being rude and so judgemental.  Michelle needs support.  She does NOT need people being judgemental.  You have NEVER walked in her shoes.  Instead of judging her you should be offering support.  You should be very blessed that you do not have do go through this yourself.  It is so hard for you to learn that it's not your fault.  That was the first step I had to take.  Michelle I am so proud of you for getting the help you need.  I know it is not easy jus please hang in there.  I know if I can do it so can you.   Michelle all I can say is I SUPPORT YOU!  IF you need anything feel free to email marisaswann@aol.com     

I completely agree with this woman.  Have you judgemental people ever heard "who ever is without sin can cast the first stone"?  When your perfect you can tell Michelle she's faulty.  But your not so shut your pie holes.  Raising kids is hard.  I'm not entirely like Michelle, but if you have kids you all can't tell me you've NEVER said anything you regret....or yelled and had to apologize.  Support in her journey to be better for her kids is what she needs!  If you need some support Michelle you can email me chadpi@hotmail.com :)

What's a free thinker????

Quote From: starkitty7

There are many posts here that use God as comfort and that is fine- I repspect other ppl's beliefs- but that post was very preachy and annoying, so I reacted. I wasn't pushing my belief, but rather reminding ppl who post things like telling us to "get closer to our creator" that it may really irritate others. I meant no disrespect, but we free thinkers get bombarded everyday with this stuff and sometimes it gets to us and we need to speak out and let others know that we are here, that's all.  

I hope your not implying that people of God don't think freely.  I think to some it might be offensive to catergorize yourself as a "free thinker" like people of any religion are not.  It's funny that your accusing this woman of being preachy, but your being condecending and that's irritating me.   

Starkitty- don't let these people keep you from sharing your beliefs.  Being a person of God has become almost politically incorrect in this country.  Your right, coming closer to a spirtual being can help some people who seem to be lost.

Don't appologize

Quote From: starkitty7

Free Thinker= non-believer. I am sorry you felt I was being condecending and irritating. Are you for real? Being a person of God has become politically incorrect??? You have GOT to be kidding me! I live in Northeast- not the Bible belt and EVERYONE is a believer, so much that most ppl who are non-believers are afraid to be who they are for fear of rejection. The reason I felt that the post I originally responded to was the "our creator" statement. He is YOUR creator, not mine. It rubbed me the wrong way and I am sorry I responded because this is an innappropriate forum for this sort of discussion. I apologize.
It saddens me that you feel that you would be rejected because of your beliefs.  I feel the same.  You are a non believer.  Okay....people of God aren't all the same.  I live in the midwest.  There are a lot of both here.  I think we feel the same whether or not we believe.  I have had a lot of critizism for believing.  I feel the same...that I have to watch myself wherever I am.  I wish neither of us had to feel that way.  Thank you for clearing up "free thinker".

EEEWWWW

Quote From: bevsteffen

What is it with so many people these days that want relationships with others that are their childrens age?  I just don't get it! My daughter (single mother, 23) had a guy that was my age (44) interested in her. He ended up doing something that upset her so the relationship went no farther then them talking, however, he definatly wanted more.  

I think this is very hard for me to deal with because my ex-husband who was 34 at the time, ended up with a 16 year old that was engaged and pregnant by my son. 

  

Please help me understand this madness (my feelings). 

That's just gross!  I just wonder how your son feels towards his dad now?  I had the same experience with my father in law.  He was 51 at the time and I was 24.  I was dating his son at the time and he thought he would have a chance with me?????  Yeeeeaaaaaahhhhh, right!  I thought what a Jerk.  His son was obviously in love with me...we're married now, what NERVE!  Gross!
