You have two choices...either continue to play sloppy seconds to his ex (ya right, lets refer to her as his present girlfriend) and keep telling yourself the lie that you already know or let him go and find someone that has no baggage! When was it in your life that you began to think your worth so little?

Dear diary...today I woke up again on the right side of the grass, it's not sunny down here but it is on the other side of the clouds. Another bill has been added to my account but thankfully I can enjoy this hot coffee and turn on the lights, so the payment seems not as irritating as it should. I am off to work today but it's nice to be making money so I "can" spend it.My son was acting like quite the grumpy princess this morning which almost created an argument but just as he walked out the door he turned and said"Love you mom"...how lucky am I? 

This brings me back quite a few years ago when the school called regarding my boys lunches or lack there of. She asked why my kids didn't have any lunch at school and wondered if we were having financial issues at home. I was shocked to hear her ask this as I was daily making and packing their lunches before school. I found out that they were throwing the healthy stuff away and only taking the snacks with them. I asked the teacher to take a walk down the dip between my home and the school if she wanted to see what the kids had for lunch as I knew it was laying on the ground between school and home.

There's much more pride in owning something you have worked hard for and earned.

I'd like to say my kids but they aren't mine to possess. If one could possess time I would say the time with my kids and parents. I'm not sure it's an actual possession that I can say I treasure.

Being an adult, as long as it's not affecting anyone else in the family it's really nobodies business what they do with the money.

I agree there are double standards in many ways. Let a woman release gas anywhere near ears length aand God forbid...I've had incidents in a motorbike shop where I actually had to get a man go to bat for me, they put a tire on my bike that was rubbing the frame and it was also put on backwards, the arrow was pointing the wrong way.

It's really nice to see that members are cared for enough by others to keep the rest of us sheep up to date. Best of 2012, I am taking care of my parents as well so I totally understand what is needed. I just think about what they gave me as a child in all of the chaos.

I am Canadian and I have to say that we seem to cover our asses pretty damned good as far as liabilities. Good luck with that. Maybe you should follow your dog in and be sure you hold the door like you would for a woman.Good luck with that!

You have no case! It's completely up to you to research what you  are thinking about doing with or without advice. Unless you signed some contract that is guaranteeing you a result then your SOL. Looking in depth into what you want to do and comparing companies is your responsibility unless you have a contract signed.
