cut him some slack. at the right time, should things get to that point, you have the relationship talk. then you'll have the info to decide your next step. do you think you're an equally dubious partner because you're the the half of the date? [ Reply | More

Not seven but that was me. I dated a woman who I got along with great but we were in grad school and both going to be leeaving the area for different places. And I dated three women I could have spent my life with but we wanted different things. Through in one or two that flamed out and bang... you are in your thirties, fairly emotionally healthy and still looking for a life mate. [ Reply | More

Of course you call her. Tell her you were thinking about her, what a great person she is, and while this is a difficult time it will pass. When her public ordeal fades, she'll remember & appreciate the people who stuck with her. Ignoring means you don't want to associate with her. [ Reply | More

it kind of depends. my older dc was in a daycare with a dc who was out of control-hitting, biting, aggressive, to an extreme extent (problems were daily, not once in a blue moon). there were problems in the dc's home, the dc was acting out. the teachers and the daycare worked with him and the family to minimize the behaviour and worked with other children on tolerating the different ways people act, how to use words when feeling anger, etc. it worked out for everyone.

Oh, well I've heard of people getting them even though they never used to. Though if they're really bad you should see OB.

[ - ] So get this .. My father told me on Monday that he was leaving for Sweden on Friday (today) with his girlfriend of 1.5 years and her kids (three sons, ages 21, 19, and 9) for 10 days. He only told my brother last night. He has had the tickets for months but decided to not tell us, and tell other people not to tell us, because he thought we would be upset. Last night, he came over to see dd and the whole time was going on about how he was leaving for vacation and acting like I was supposed to be excited for him. I really just feel betrayed, lied to or something bad. 7 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

You need to support your dad. He lost his partner (yeah she was your mom but she was his partner, his mate). Then he was lucky and found somebody new and now you and his son are acting like asses. You should be excited for him. That is how decent people react when somebody they love is happy. [ Reply | More
