To 'overprotective mom'......

Quote From: mettat

It is easy for people that do not have children to give advise.  I am trying the best that I can do with Ashlee.  She is allowed to do some things, but not things that I know could possibly put her in harms way.  We have 2 child molesters in  our neighborhoods.  I do not think of my kids as possessions, but as gifts from God and I am going to make sure that my children are not going to be just another child that ends up hurt or worse murdered by some strange pervert.  So until you have become a parent, then please don't try and give advise.

  

You seem to be angry at the whole world!, if you have agreed to be on a show then you can expect people to give THEIR opinnion and thoughts on the matter. 

You want to control everything, what makes you think that if someone does not have children of their own that they cannot "give advice", even these people were once children themselves and might just know first hand what it is like to live with an overprotective parent. Because you have a child(children) does not make you the most qualified person in the world, and I suggest that you stop being so rude to people on this board who are genuinly only trying to help and perhaps help you  see your situation from another angle. 

Yes, I do have a child and I am aware of the dangers and also fear things like most parents do, but I realise that I do not want my son to grow up the way I did, fearing everything and anything. Because my mother by being 'overprotective' ensured that her state of mind was at peace, while I could not enjoy a normal childhood but waited for the day when I would be 'grown up'  and free. That is not a happy childhood and one that I wish for my son. You are already afraid of your manner towards your daughter (otherwise you would not have been on the show)?, so as others respect your problem fully I suggest you don't vent in such a negative way.

????????????

Quote From: maria_44

Wanting your child but knowing he's dead is better than wanting your child but knowing she's there....alive.....moments away from you, but you can't have her. Who's had the real loss here???  

  

As far as "Brandi's parents [jumping at the oppurtunity to yell at the grieving family of Daniel's", OH PLEASE!!! Did you see how Sheila acted? My goodness--it was like a toddler. She was waving fingers all over the place, getting hysterical, and trying to get her point across, but the only point she got across is that she's a nervous wreck! On the other hand, Brandi's family were patient and acted their age. I give them credit for that. 

Have you read what you wrote?   Your first sentence is beyond belief !!! 

  

Guess what, Brandi is alive and her family will always "have her". Daniel is not, his family will never have him apart from memories, and you have the audacity to ask "who's had the real loss here" 

  

Shame on people like you that  see a family's worst nightmare and grief as something to ridicule!!!! 

  

It is a tragedy to all, but a young life has been taken.  

  

In all honesty, contrary to your observations on how "Sheila acted", I can only say that in a situation like hers (theirs), I would have been worse!

Wake up!

Quote From: dna1118

 I have been married to a wonderful lady for almost a year. This is a second marriage for both of us. Before we met we both were in relationships but eventually we were brought together and have had a wonderful time together. When we were dating the woman I was in a relationship was still in contact with me. My girlfriend told me to stop all contact with her so I did and have not spoken or emailed her since. On the other hand my wife came out of a bad relationship with someone who left her in an airport alone because he wanted to be with someone else. Well since then we have married and have had nothing but an incredible time together.  

 Now my thoughts are these...since then my wife has still been in contact with this guy. He will email her or call her to say hi and talk. I have told her that I cannot understand why and she told me because she likes hearing about how miserable he is doing. I trust her that nothing will come of this but I just do not know what to think or feel. I have told her that I want him out...but if she does not I do not think I can stay in this knowing that he is in the background.  

Any feelings from any of you?? 

Your wife is disrespectful and hurtful because your tolerence allows it.  The reason that she 'uses' for being in contact with this other man, ( " she likes hearing how miserable he is doing" ), is simply not true. 

  

You have been married for a relatively short time,  now is the time that you both should be happy and together working towards your future goals.   

  

Sometimes there are people who after long and abusive relationship find it difficult to 'adjust' when  their new partner is supportive, loving and respectful, but with time and working together it usually turns out for the best.   You rarely hear of anyone that has been subjected to hurt in the past running back to 'contact' the abuser to see if they are miserable, but they focus on their new hapinness.      I don't believe that this was the case with your wife, she can and that is why she does it. 

  

Make it clear that you do not wish this other person in your life, and that his 'misery'  is not you consern. Don't allow this to continue. 

  

Best of luck

10/14 ‘Kick ‘em to the Curb!’

Quote From: licorice

I can't seem to understand why I continue to stay in the destructive relationship I have been in for the last two years.  I have been dating a man who within the last two years has worked 1 month.  His excuse his body needs a rest.  Mean while I am working full time to support my house and a full-time student. With a mortgage, utility bills, car note, and other household expenses I often times feel like given up. 

  

I have help this man financial for the past two years, including paying legal fees to assist him in reinstating his license, in hopes that this would help him find employment.  Unfortunately he still has no job.  He blames me often for his situation, luckily I do know this is not my fault.  I do admit that there has been times that my anger has been out of control, and I have hit him once.  On this occasion he called the local police, now he uses this as a means to black mail me. He often tells e that he will notify my job, and press charges against me.  He continues to hurl insults at me anytime I do not give in to his demands of continued support.  I don't know why it has become difficult to end this relationship.   I now put up with things that in my twenties I would have never dealt with. 

  

My mom has failed to teach me many things the biggest is how to have a relationship with a man 

Let his "body rest" out of your heart, your purse, your home and your life. 

  

Seriously, why would you want to spend another second with this parasite! 

   

  

Good luck!

10/13 Cheerleader Scandal

Quote From: frogsnagga

"Who does Daniel's mother think she is", Oh my God, are you serious???? Daniel's mother is a mom that is hurting from the loss of her baby being ripped out of her arms by a selfish , lying brat, and I say selfish because she was only thinking of herself and not the welfare Daniel ! You can't convince me that she did not know she hit him? The pictures of the car speak for itself, and she knew because she tried to cover it up by placing a tree branch in the windshield !  His mother was displaying the feelings of a very heartbroken, emotional wreck , with her heart breaking at  the mere mention of his name. I'm sorry for the loss of your daughter, but I can almost guarantee if you knew the killer of her and had a chance to go face to face with them you would have a whole different opinion. I say how dare her family to  come on national television and try to down play the enormous impact this has had on Daniel's family. I am a Christian and I to agree God will deal with the girl in his own time, and I do agree Daniel's mom must try to find a way to forgive Brandi. But I'm sure when your daughter was taken from you that you didn't just jump up and say "I have to forgive"! And I despise you saying " pray more for Daniel's family because they have no hope of ever seeing Daniel because of the hatred they have displayed on the air.  Read your bible lady,  There is nothing but hope because God knows grief and knows how people deal with grief and he knows in time the heart softens and only he knows her heart. Brandi deserves to be forgiven, but that doesn't mean she should not pay for what she did, by spending a very long time in jail. At least her mom gets to hear her baby's voice, what does Daniel's mom have????  

You are absolutely right! 

  

I think it is time that people stop 'advising' other people how to cope with their pain. Brandi is alive and whatever pain her family is going through they know that they still have their daughter, Daniel has left his family with memories and alot of pain. God forbid anyone should go through that.

10/13 Cheerleader Scandal

Quote From: awfulcute

Why are cars never seen for what they are? Guns and cigarettes are called bad and banned but cars are advertized in beautiful landscapes and filled with happy people. This is not the case. Statistically, a car is guaranteed to cause you harm at least once in your life. 

  

Brandi is in jail to avoid questions about teenagers and cars. There is a corporate agreement going on with the courts to blame the driver and not the car. What Brandi has done is seen as more harmful to the economy than to Daniel's family. She has gone and put the sacred car in a bad light. 

  

These two families need to get along. They have been kept at each other's throats through some clever tricks on the part of the system which is very friendly towards professionals and car companies. 

  

For the sake of the economy and other people's greed and political power, we are told that we can trust cars, doctors, lawyers and police. Too many people have learned the hard way that this is not totally true. This case is filled with a lot of tragedy. Political spin is one factor. And the fact that Brandi is a girl.  

When companies start to develope cars with minds of their own, it will be a great relief, we'll be able to sue them for every parking ticket, dui, and even murder! 

 Until then, every driver will be accountable for the 'cars' actions.

Need support/advice

It's great to see that so many of you have quit smoking, congratulations! 

I would so much appreciate any advice. I have tried everything, but I guess my willpower is 0. 

The worst thing is that I am a very determined person and have no problem in my schedules and obligations, and yet I am so frustrated with my "i cannot live without a cigarette' attitude. 

  

I'm mostly surrounded by non smokers, to whom I cannot really turn to for support or advice because on this topic I am usually berated and this makes me feel even more frustrated! so I naturally smoke more. I hate the fact that I lie to myself, I hate the fact that as a mature adult I'm always saying to myself " tommorow morning I'm going to give up" and I never do. 

  

Everything else in my life is great, family, work etc, but this smokong is just wearing me down, I know it's wrong and I just cannot stop! 

  

Any advice would be so much appreciated!

You must have just watched a rerun of "Christina" (the murderous '58 Plymouth) to come up with this drivel.
lol. No I just didn't agree with the theory to which I had given this reply to.

you mean like guns and cigarettes?

Yes, people make choices with what they have. No manufactures sell you a car then tell you how to drive it, same with guns etc..

So educational......

Quote From: crimepro

It seems that you have no experience in the judicial system or law, and perhaps just perhaps you stopped education after high school. Until you learn more  , or perhaps until you begin to educate yourself on things ...there is no point in trying to debate. Your words should be chose carefully and without bias and anger.. Think logically not emotionally and things will be less confusing for you.  

  

Good luck to you awfulcute 

This is an example of how 'crimepro'  responds to 'awfulcute's post. 

  

'Crimepro' you are so 'academic'  This is a public debate, meaning anyone can participate, and that is what people are doing ,debating on the information from the show, newspapers,etc. This is not a courtroom and certainly not your 'chatroom' where you feel compelled to tell people based on 'their'education' whether they should 'debate'. or not.
