    Dad's GF has taken this too far

    I just got off the phone with my Aunt and she told me that my Uncle said the hand writing on the envelope was my Dad's :( I guess this changes everything since he did get the letter but was mad because we didn't include his gf's name on the letter...so basically he's the one who thinks I'm the S...

    Dad's GF has taken this too far

    Exactly what I'm thinking! he's at the botton of the pit and doesn't know how to get out and she doesn't seem to be doing a thing but possibly buying him more alcohol. That's a good idea! I will seek a lawyer's advice, I never even thought that what she's doing might be a federal crime. For...

    Dad's GF has taken this too far

    Thanks you guys! I think I should have been more clear on the going over to his house part...I won't involve the police before hand or if I'm able to talk with my Dad. the only time I'll involve the police is in case no one comes to the door or if Dad's gf refuses to let me see him. all I'm...

    Dad's GF has taken this too far

    lol well, I don't know how much that's true since she claims to run a clean place....of course she might just be lying but I really don't wanna go that far to complaining against her. Update: My Aunt called me back and she was just so shocked and told me to save the envelope cause she wants to...

    Dad's GF has taken this too far

    My DH still doesn't think the police will care but I will try anyways. By now I that if my Dad didn't get my holiday card then he probably didn't get the letter I sent him last April or the last phone call and voice message I left in Nov. 2010 after my Grandmother died. I forgot to answer one...

    Dad's GF has taken this too far

    Totally! for almost 2 years it was only a suspicion of mine but now it's more than obvious - that's why I'm really worried for my Dad. In the U.S. we live in the same State, he lives only 45 min's away from me. There is only 1 neighbor my DH and I are still in contact sometimes, they take...

    Dad's GF has taken this too far

    Thank you so much for your reply! My Dad is retired but he sometimes works in his gf's restaurant to help her out but since he's drunk so much I don't know if he even does that anymore. My dad barely talks anymore to anyone in the family, he won't answer his phone ever (not even to my Aunt) and...

    Dad's GF has taken this too far

    I haven't been here for a while so Hi again :wave: If some of you remember my situation with my Dad, I have made some post here before like a year ago and have taken the advice given here to just move on if he doesn't want a relationship with me. Another thing I mentioned in my past posts was...

    I Think I might be joining

    I have been feeling for a while now that God wants my DH and I to trust him with the # of kids he desires for us to have. Since I got pregnant almost 4 years ago with DD we were in pretty bad situations, although I had a hard pregnancy but no pregnancy complications and a very healthy and happy...

    Terrible twos meltdowns - Help!

    About a year ago before Alex turned 2 she started having some tantrums and each time she began a tantrum I would calm the situation down really fast by asked her "Do you want to go to your room?" she would say "No!" so I would tell her to get up and stop crying. It worked like a charm! in fact...

    potty training

    I just potty trained my 2.5 y/o last month. I did the 3 day potty training method and was very impressed how it worked so well. If I remember correctly it has a 95% or more of working. there is an article in babycentre about this method or just google it. There is also an e-book you can buy but...

    Does anybody do OAMC?

    Thanks C1ners! I too am afraid of being so exhausted from cooking all day. The food really has no reason to spoil if it's in the freezer, most foods can last 3 months and more in the freezer. I read a lot of people being tired after a long day of cooking but that they loved it any ways cause...

    Does anybody do OAMC?

    I'm looking to start a once a month cooking and I'm wondering if anyone else does it? If so, do you really feel like it saves you time and money? How did you start? What are your favorite meals to freeze? For a while I have been eating as a vegetarian and I try looking for OAMC on...

    Non-christian mother-in-law interfering

    wow! my situation with my parents was also tough and controlling, not as bad as your IL's but still, it can be really hard to deal with at times. I agree with another poster, don't keep coke and other things in your house if you don't want your mil to give it to your kids, unless she just...

    Kids

    we have a 2.5 y/o Daughter. we're not sure if we want anymore kids, my pregnancy was really difficult and I don't know if I want to go through it again. Adoption is also sometime I have always considered, because ideally I would like Alex to grow up with brothers and sisters.

    feeling blue today

    Thanks! I have thought about the possibility that he might have forgot, I guess one of the reasons it left me feeling this way was because all the family was there but me. As for reaching out I try to make it to as much of family events as possible, and keep in touch via fb and comment alot on...
