I have been a single parent of 2 boys alone for past 9 years. My youngest has autism. I have difficulty retaining babysitters due to the autism. He harrasses every baby-sitter I have until they quit. He makes flaso allegations against them, calls police on them. continaually calls and threatens them. What can I do to protect myself and my siiters. He has joint legal custody of the children and I am primary physical custodian. My current sitter, best I ever had isplanning on leaving. Please off me some advice.

I bought an 11″ memory foam mattress, which I believe is 8″ of non-memory foam at the bottom, and 3″ of memory foam on top. I have had the mattress for about 6 months, and in the past 3, my lower back has started hurting. I think that the problem may be that it is too firm. Can I add another memory foam topper to it in order to soften it up? Thanks!

I suffered from severe self esteem issues, anorexia, depression and anxiety. These led me to become attention seeking and demanding, often selfish and cruel. I never meant to behave that way but I did.

Through my actions I lost my best friend. I miss him so much. But he won’t talk to me. I waited a few months of non contact, through which time I had made great progress in my treatment, then sent him a few emails explaining how I felt, that I was sorry, but heard nothing back. I regret my actions so much, feel so ashamed at how much I must have hurt him, and miss him terribly.

He was like my family, as I have none. I now that the trust in our friendship is gone. What can I do? It hurts me more than anything.

I know how much I have hurt him.

I have said that the friendship is gone. I never asked him to come back. I wrote to him to apologise. The aim of this question is how do you live with guilt for having caused pain/

I’ve had a head ache all day & everything just hurts. I also feel sick. My mom wants me to go to school anyways.

I know I have mental issues (depression, anxiety, mood swings, cutting myself, and hurting my little brother) and im very scared of the possibility of being sent to a mental hospital.

I have been debating this with my brother for as long as i can remember. Take an animal that is very non-complex and can not form memories i.e. perhaps a sponge and you hurt it. Can it feel pain even if it can’t form any memories. I am not talking about dogs and cats of course they can feel pain, this is more of a philosophical question than anything.

I know someone close to me who keeps hurting others and breaking rules, and this person does not seem to have any fear of consequences or of hurting others. Could this be some kind of mental disorder?

They act like they`re so comfortable, but I tried it out in the store, and you sink all the way to the bottom and your back hurts when you get out, LOL.

So I really wanted the Sims 3 Generations these past few weeks but now, staring at the order button I’m having some second thoughts. Is this going to take away from my life this summer and my schoolwork right now? I have to decide quickly since a special offer will expire tomorrow. Maybe I need to prioritize? I’ll admit- I am being a bit dramatic but really what IS best?
