My son is a pacifier addict. I used to only give it to him when he would get fussy while we were out somewhere but against my wishes my mother-in-law would shove it in his mouth at every chance she got. I told her that I want to try other things before shoving the pacifier in his mouth but any time he spit it out she shoved it right back in even if he didn’t want it or cry for it. Now my son can’t go without the pacifier for more than like 10 minutes because she has gotten him so used to sucking on it all day long. I really don’t care if he wants to suck on it, but the problem is every time he spits it out he screams like someone is cutting off on of his toes. And night time is the worst, he wakes up every 5-10 minutes for the first hour or two that he goes to sleep because he loses the pacifier then he might go a half hour to an hour before waking up again because he lost the thing again. He sleeps next to me in bed, yet I still can’t get sleep because he is waking up screaming all night long and as soon as I put it back in his mouth he dozes right back off. The only way that I can sometime get him to sleep without it is by using my boob as the pacifier and let him fall asleep while laying down and nursing but then I get uncomfortable and can’t move or else my boob may pop out and he will wake again. Is it too early or too mean to wean him from the thing at three months?

I’ve had an eating disorder for a few months now. Basically, I’ll eat a very low amount of calories, then binge (telling myself that I’m “recovering” while I binge), then I purge the calories or starve myself again to not gain weight.

I’m almost 5’3 and weigh about 90 pounds. I’m also only 14 years old, and struggling with this mental illness :(

I don’t know how to get better. As soon as school’s out for summer (school ends next week), I’m going to TRY to gain weight. I’ve told my mom about my problem, and she’s being really supportive. Everyone is worried about me and are always commenting on my weight, and they really want me to get better. What are the steps I should take to get better?

Also, how long would it take for my metabolism to get back to normal?
What about my hair falling out and the fact that I haven’t had my period since November?
I got my mom to buy me Boitin, and I’ve made a deal with myself that I can’t start taking it until I start eating right again.

I don’t want to gain weight fast, because then I’ll most likely relapse and try to lose it.

Are there any websites you recommend for me to go to?

I’m so confused right now!
:(

Recently events lead to my diabetic mother residing in a house alone. Am i right to worry that its dangerous to let her live by herself given the fact that she suffered a few times from episodes of hypoglycemia (passing out, talking weird, tired etc) and we had to force her to drink sugar. I worried that what if that happened again and no one was there? what will happen?

Our baby hamsters are 3 weeks old today, and they are still nursing from the mother. Since about 2 night ago we have noticed that some of them are figting. They are rolling and squeaking so I do not know if they are playing or not. They do eat and drink on there own. but like I said they are still nursing. Should we remove the babies? Please give me all the advise you can.
Thank you

I’ve struggled with my weight for my whole life – not overweight, but borderline, which makes it hard because my doctors don’t say “you need to lose weight”, they say “oh you’re fine” so my mom still buys unhealthy snacks (we eat healthy meals but my brother loves junk food snacks so they’re always in our house) and I just can’t stop eating. I was bulimic for a while, then I had binge-eating disorder (not binge-purge, just binge) and now I still just eat all the time. Sometimes I’m not even hungry, I just eat because I’m bored.

How do I not eat!? I know pro-ana tips say to snap your wrist with a rubber band when you’re hungry, but I don’t know. I’ll take anything, ana tips or whatever, to stop from mindlessly eating all the time. Please give me any tips you have to curb appetite, keep from eating, anything! Thank you in advance

Have any nursing or previously nursing mother’s had any good results from taking Fenugreek or drinking Mother’s Milk Tea to increase their milk supply? If so how much of a difference did you see (ounces).

if they are found to be addicted to drugs and/or alcohol? I noticed on another question that many thought that addiction should be grounds for immediate removal from the natural mother. What about natural parents that are married, single or divorced or adoptive parents who are married, single or divorced who are abusing drugs and/or alcohol…shouldn’t their children (any age) also be immediately removed from the parents as well? Is there a difference in regards as to who is addicted and who gets to keep their kids or not? If so, why or why not? Personally I think alcoholics are just as damaging to their children as any drug addict…it’s still substance abuse. Should all alcoholics/heavy drinkers lose their children as well to fostercare, should the occasional pot-smoker lose his/her parental rights as well? Should only absolute non-drinkers (of the alcohol variety to include beer), no drug use of any kind people, be allowed to parent? Who determines who is engaging in total drug addiction vs occasional use or the died-in-the wool alcoholic vs the social drinker? Is there a double standard for substance abuse for women vs men, i.e. the married husband is the alcoholic/addict, should his children be removed from his household? At what point do people believe that alcoholism/drug abuse is damaging to the children who live in these households…do we hold different levels of acceptability based on marital status, economic status, home owner or renter?
ETA: The Brain said: “”Love how you throw the poverty issue in — trying to imply that “poverty is a reason children are in foster care.”"
UH! Excuse me where did I write the above in my question? If you are going to quote me, please, at least quote me correctly and not *falsely*. Thank you!
Guess my question has been diverted to “poverty”..OK!

http://www.faqs.org/childhood/Fa-Gr/Foster-Care.html

“”Others maintain that the inadequacy of the child welfare system stems from its inability to address the primary issue contributing to child neglect, abuse, and removal: poverty. Indeed, the overwhelming majority of children in foster care are born into poverty and some studies show that the primary predictor of child removal is not the severity of abuse but the level of the family’s income. Critics noted that in the early twenty-first century the United States had the highest rate of child poverty of any industrialized Western nation and argued the income and social supports more typical of Western European nations, such as family allowances, government-supported day care, family leave policies, more generous benefits for single mothers and their children, would reduce the number of American children in foster care.”"
ETA: Guess I didn’t get my point across in my question. I heard women screaming for the immediate removal of newborns from addicted mothers…no 2nd chance…yet now I hear it a little differently. Chances? for whom..the married couple, the single mom..who rates more chances? I also attended AL-Anon and ACA for a number of years, my life as a child was an absolute nightmare..no matter, looking back I still wouldn’t have wanted to be taken from my own mother…never! Best thing in our family…her husband dropped dead suddenly on the kitchen floor when some of my sibs (their bio dad that had a fed gov’t job) were quite young, they were spared the worst of the worst, for that I was most thankful! We all have our tales of woe.

This will sound like a bad novel/movie, but it’s real. Trust me. Met a man online (insert joke), and we married shortly after. He was super sweet, or so I thought. Had not met his family, b/c there were all still in Hell (far away in INDIANA). He really wanted a wife and family. I found out I was pregnant the week after we got married. This is when skeletons started popping out of the closet.
Found out he was released from the State Mental Hospital a year prior. He was there to kick his HEROINE habit, his ALCOHOLISM, and his suicide attempts. He actually flat lined once. They also did blood work and found HEP C from the drug use. He tells me he has been bisexual in the past.
After this comes out, he leaves me after an argument (about a month after getting married) and hops a train to New Orleans. He leaves me with No money and the utility bills due. I made a missing persons report. He comes back 2 weeks later, with no money and track marks on his arm. All of this while I am pregnant. Not long after that, he leaves again, and I find that he has been talking with women on sex sites, all the while, referring to me as his ex. I saw an email where he was discussing getting a blow job. ( sorry…crude). I only saw a few of hundreds of emails. I can only imagine. He comes back after a month, and the reason I let him was b/c I was scared. I had already decided at this point, that the ONLY thing to do, is give the baby up for adoption. That was the plan, but after I had him and held him, I could not go through w/ it. He is an amazing child (2 now). So we try to stay together, but his drinking is getting worse. He finally gets a job after a year into things, that he has managed to keep, but we will see for how long. Okay, so after the drinking starts to get worse, so does the abuse. I was called everything but a child if God. He also started choking me when he would “lose it”. This became a monthly thing. Finally I get to meet his mother from Indiana. Oh God, is she rough. She was cussing around my son at 6 months old. The whole family was smoking in the room where he was sitting in his rocking seat. I told husband to tell mother to stop smoking around baby. He never really said much. Found out he is terrified of her. I saw why. She is horrible. So he won’t say “Boo” to her, but he’ll smack me around if need be. Okay…so long story long (sorry)….the cops end up coming out every month. I never press charges b/c I am scared he will cut off money. I was in the house w/ my son. We live like this for 2 and a half years until one day after a fight, he ups and leaves, and gets his own apartment. Found out after this that he has been lying and badmouthing me to his family the whole time, so they support it. They have NO idea what I have been living in/through. I want to add that in addition to the phys. abuse was lots of criticizing and devaluing. It was very bad. I was in hell. Anyway,….so hubby leaves, moves into an apartment, and then about a week later, I GET SERVED WITH CUSTODY PAPERS. He is suing me for full custody. You believe it??? I get a lawyer who wants $10,000.00 up front. My mom pays it, because we OBVIOUSLY don’t want this freak to get my son. Well, he backs off after we “answer the complaint with our own complaint. We also allege he is unfit to have anything other than Supervised visitation. He and I meet for mediation, and have worked out visitation, but it still involves me seeing him every week. He said if I did not agree, he would fight me in court, and I have dismissed attorney so that I can get as much of my $10,000 retainer back. Now, shouldn’t I write a book. YOu are probably going to lay into me, but in my defense, I have no parents or grandparents and no siblings. My father (as you can probably already guess) was absent, and mom should have been.

I moved home, and work is stressfull. I watched my mother suffocate, from heart failure. I can’t stop thinking about how she looked–limp, lifeless, and pink foam pouring out of her mouth. I was powerless. I feel hopeless and absolutely stranded in alcoholism. I have very little sex drive and desire to experience new things. I saw myself, when I held my mother. Now, I feel that time and possibly life are illusions. I’m afraid, yet unmoved. I’m already dead, but I can can barely long for something more.
How do I rfescue my soul/conciousness?

HERE GOES: LET ME KNOW IF ITS TOO SLOW OR WHAT.

I can remember it like it was yesterday. It may have been weeks ago, but I still feel like it just happened. Everything this past year has gone by in a blur. My memory has been fuzzy. But this is the only clear memory I have.
You see, my parents had sent me to a 30-Day rehab center after several punishments and groundings for ditching, drinking, smoking pot, doing coke, ecstacy, and shrooms. My parents had always been the lienient type. But this time they were really cracking the whip down hard. I had been sent to Circle Tree Ranch, two weeks before summer started.
Finally, I was being released. My parents had drove to Tuscon to pick me up and bring me back to Phoenix, I had offered to take a train or a bus, but they insisted to pick me up. So I let them.
They were so excited to see me. It felt good to know they weren’t just doing it to be against me, they wanted to help me. I had decided to forgive them for everything they had done to me. I know I wasn’t perfect or anything but at that point I only thought they were out to get me.
We were in the car, all of us talking, exchanging stories. Sort of like a real family, I was happy about it, really happy we were actually bonding. I had never been so excited. That’s when it all went to chaos.
The truck struck us head on on the highway. My father had died instantly. My mother, three hours later. Me stuck in there for a day, just some cuts and bruises. I was banged up badly in the accident, but some how I wasn’t the one to go.
My parents did all they could to help me all my life, They always believed in whatever it was I wanted to do, always saying “Kadence, you can do anything you set your mind to.” Just like any other parent. But I was just rude, impolite and selfish to them. I never did anything for them and they died, while I get to live.
I’m always thinking how it should be me. I’m the horrible one in the family and I turn out to be ‘touched by an angel’ it makes no sense to me.

———————————————————————————-
I’ve been in Reno for two weeks now, with no other family except my brother it was my only choice. I’m living in a small two bedroom apartment with Trevor and his girlfriend Rachael Woods. They don’t seem to serious though. So I don’t know why they live together.
Rachael was kind enough to set me up with my room, she got me a new bed and furniture. She even decorated it to my liking. Of course, this was all before I showed up in the Little Biggest City, I would have never allowed her to spend any money on worthless little me. Trevor tells me she is rich. I guess her only uncle died a year ago and he invented some kind of product that made him into a billionaire. He had no kids, and Rachael was his little girl, so she ended up inheriting it all. She’s staying in Reno I guess because it’s her true home and she would prefer an apartment over a nice house.
My walls are chocolate brown, they actually look really good with the red and gold accents around the room. My dressers are cherry stained wood, I happen to love them. My huge bed also matches the room, silky sheets and everything. She must be rich.
Now I sit in the living room, watching some movie about a man who gets all big and turns green if he gets angry or his heart rate raises. Trevor walks in, “Hey baby sista’.” I smile and nod my head giving an uneasy wave. I haven’t seen trevor since I was eleven and he was eighteen. I’m now seventeen, and he is twenty four, so it is a little awkward.
Interupting my thoughts on the subject, he pulls a baggy out of his pocket and a pipe. My heart sinks into my stomach. He loads a bowl, takes a hit. The thick smoke pouring out of his lips makes my head spin. Boy do I wanna take a puff. I say to myself.
As if he is reading my mind he passes it to me, with the aromma of pot dancing around the small room I can’t help but take the pipe from him, just this one hit, and I won’t touch weed ever again.\He tosses me the purple lighter and I light the bowl sucking deep and long, I let the smoke fill my lungs and dance around inside me for several seconds before blowing it out. I pass the pipe back to Trevor and I’m high. Not too high, but high enough to make me hit it again, and again, and again until it’s gone. Right now I don’t care about anything, haven’t thought that i’m doing something wrong. And I haven’t thought about my parents. The only thing I’m thinking about is how great I’m feeling and how bad i’ve missed my good ole friend mary jay.
I love the calm feeling it gives you, the way it fills your mind will tons of thoughts and by the time you know it your overwhelmed with memories, ideas, and thoughts about whats going on. It is amazing to just sit and thing, and oh those munchies. Everything just tastes so much better when your high. Its like pot makes your taste buds stronger.
I spring from the couch, “Want a

I am in Canada for awhile and want to see if my mom can send me booze :)

My mom said you can make an alcoholic beverage from putting a bunch of cherries in a container and filling some water in there. Is this true?
i guess i’m stupid, and she didn’t add water, she added vodka to it. haha…

My nephew is a very intelligent young man. He gets all A’s in school and is very well mannered. His mother loves him very much and spoils him to death. She has him so spoiled that she still allows him to sleep in the bed with her. He is 16 and in the 10th grade. He also still drinks out of the same sippy cup that he had when he was 2 years old. I was shocked at this. He came to my house one day and when I offered him a soda, he pulled out the sippy cup and poured it in their to drink out of it.
I tried talking to his mother and letting her know that I don’t think that this behavior is normal. She got offended and felt that I was calling her a bad mother. I don’t think that she is a bad mother but I don’t think that a 16 year old should still be sleeping in his mother’s bed or drinking out of a sippy cup. What do you think? Advice please!

My brother never respects my mom or her boyfriend, and will not forgive her for putting him in rehab a year ago. Even though she saved his life, he refuses to ever respect her or even consider her a mother anymore. He cant seem to forgive or forget, is there any thing in the Bible about stuff like this I could have him read? God seems to be the only thing he can relate too.
Thankyou!

Ok…my dad…is always kinda drunk!MY mom and me are trying to convience my dad to stop but he wont….he tells us to give him some time but he wont listen….what should i do???
