Governor Patterson has intense pressure by New York liberals to gift Caroline Kennedy a senate seat because she is JFK’s daughter. The same people who ridiculed Palin for being unqualified for VP, want to give Caroline a position just for her name alone. Caroline has absolutely no qualifications whatsoever but somehow liberals have no issue with this. Huh?

Please take a look at the Kennedy family; not the whitewash that the liberal media created but look at the history of this family.

Kennedys are known for their arrogance, elitism and not earning their way in life. Caroline’s mother, Jackie, was raised to be a socialite, to marry rich and powerful men. Her grandfather Joe, was Irish mafia, who led life of crime, earning his money the same way John Gotti did BUT somehow the liberal media loves the Kennedys and has spun heavy propaganda to fool the public about the Kennedys.

The entire family has lived off of others earnings, not believing in hard work or making your own way in life- the family has lived selfish elitist lifestyles, littered with alcoholism, drug abuse, one committed murder, one committed felony manslaughter, one raped a woman then used the media to disparage the victim, none of have achieved anything through hard work and self reliance. Truly the Kennedys mirror and represent everything wrong with liberalism.

Should Governor Patterson give in to Caroline’s demand to be senator, although she has no right or qualification for the position?
Heidi- were you one of the libs claiming Palin was unqualified for VP? I thought so……. Liberals are not entitled to control congress or the media as you think!

He is 38 … he has not worked for years, and when he did have a job, it was never really consistent. He lives with him mother.

He is an alcoholic, and he had three DUIs. He has never sought help for his alcoholism. He also uses street drugs (marijuana and crack cocaine). He talks about suicide fairly frequently and has anxiety attacks.

He has had a number of short term relationships with women. They never last longer than six months or so. When anymore tries to get “too close” to him, he gets defensive, sarcastic, and ends up pushing them away.

If you had to diagnosis him, what do you think is wrong with him?

just abuse even though my grandmother raised me she was just as mean as my mother. Honeslty out the too. I would say my grandmoter was the worst she did the nastiest thing. I think my mother WOULD NEVER DO. Anyway one day I asked my grandmother can she ask my mother why she dont love me or treat me so cruel, my grandmother said in a nasty tone you ask her yourself. My grandmother knew I was so, so scared of my mother even just to talk to her. me and my mom never talked I dont know why.

Now my mother is dead and I dont regret asking her, cause I was scared I just wanted to know why didn’t my grandmother wanted to do that for me, and why was she just as mean to me. Do you think she was mean to my mother. I heard my grandmother took me away from my mother so she can always have a check. My grandmother was a drug addict real bad. but why did my mother treated me so bad also.

I have to start by saying that I really cannot stand talking to my mom anymore. We cannot have a conversation without fighting. I have a very negative attitude towards her that I frankly cannot get over. I do not want her in my life or my childs. Now that I am a mother I cannot comprehend some of the decisions she made or continues to make. I truly believe that she is an alchoholic and drug addict. She drinks daily and still smokes pot. My brother said that he found a bag of coke in her room a couple of years ago. She parties every weekend and goes to the bar every night.

With that being said– I used to have problems with drugs and alchohol as a teen. I quit smoking pot before I was 21 years old and I rarely if ever drink. I have a healthy normal marriage and consider myself to be a great mom.

I am having issues with my mother at this point because I want her to change I want her to be like me. I want her to have normal healthy happy relationships.

Am I being too harsh in wanting her to be more like me. I cannot accept her behavior any longer. I just want her to start acting like an adult- a mother-a grand mother.

I have not talked to her in two weeks or more and want to write a letter explaining all of this do you think its a good idea to tell her i want her to change or just let it go
An intervention is not possible with my mother. I moved across the country to get rid of her. She is a functioning alcoholic. She would much rather buy beer and weed than come and see her grandchild.

You are right I do not want to get rid of my mother she is my mom. I just want a healthy relationship with her and I do not think it is possible when she is using.

I Cannot confront her with these issues because she is not willing to admit that she does not have healthy relationships with anyone in her life because of her addictions. She would much rather blame me or others and that is when we just go around in circles.

She’s 42, lives with my mom and her son and she also has bi-polar disorder. My mother is fed up because she’s listening to my sister puke her guts up after every binge meal. she’s gone from 128 lbs to 86 lbs in the past year and getting worse. She is in therapy, but she refuses to tell her therapist about this problem, because she doesn’t see it as a problem, she tells my mom, it’s her body and stay out of her business, she’s an adult and all, but she’s also my best friend and every time I mention something about bulimia, she plays stupid and pretends she doesn’t have it. She knows the risks, she knows everything, my mom had brought home pamphlets, talked to her doctor, but the doctor told her to call the crisis hotline. He didn’t do anything. I fear for her life, she’s already had so many physical aliments that have led to surgery these past six months. I’m afraid she’s going to die right in front of us and there’s nothing we can do.
She’s killing herself and doesn’t see it as a problem. I know you can help anyone who doesn’t want it, but is there any advice you can give me on what to say to her?
edit..I know you can’t help anyone who doesn’t want it

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!
:(

I’m 18 and my mom is kind of strict, I think.
All through high school I wasn’t allowed to have a cell phone. Just last month for my 18th birthday I got my first cell phone but my mom set it so that I can only make calls to her. I tried to buy myself one a few years ago but when she saw it she took it away.
I’m not allowed to get my license or have a car. I know that if I even tried to get my license she’d take it away.
I got a C+ in a class two years ago and I’m supposed to keep all B’s or higher.. even though it’s really all A’s because my mom gets mad if I get a B. My mom took away my laptop and never gave it back, even over breaks like summer. I just got it, too.
I’m always late arriving to school because I don’t have an alarm and my mom always sleeps in and forgets to wake me up. I’ve had so many tardies and I always get detentions because of it. But this year my school gives out fines instead of detentions for tardies, and it kind of sucks because my mom makes me pay them with my allowance.
My mom picks me up from school every day. I’m not allowed to get rides from friends and she always picks me up really late because she works in retail and can’t choose when her breaks are. School gets out at 2:30 and usually she’s there by 5 or 6. One time she didn’t pick me up until about 8:30 – 9 and I was the only one at school and I had to wait outside in the dark all alone and I had no phone to call her and ask where she was. My school is in a bad area, too.
Once she does pick me up I’m not allowed to go home. I mean, I can’t be home alone. So I always have to go to her work and do my homework in the break room. It used to not be so bad because they had a computer but when they found out I was going on myspace they blocked it. Same with facebook and just about any fun website. I can’t even go on instant messenger, so it’s really lonely in there. Sometimes I’l sneak phone calls though, but only if no one else is in the break room with me.
Usually I don’t get home until after 11, and then I’ll eat dinner. I usually don’t go to bed until about 3 if at all because I have to study. If I don’t keep good grades my mom will take away my dog. The only reason I got my dog in the first place was because I kept all A’s in middle school and that was my reward. The cell phone was my high school reward for my grades but my mom said I can’t call other people until I get all A’s. I don’t know what will happen if I don’t get all A’s by the end of the year, I probably won’t be able to call anyone else all summer, but once I go to college I can work to get all A’s and then get to call anyone.
I know she loves me but I’m really cut off from all my friends.
I’m not even allowed to hang out with my friends on the weekends, especially if she doesn’t like them. Then I can never see them, even if she has the wrong impression about them. Like my friend Mary. Mary’s sister used to be drug addict before she went to rehab, but even after she had gone to rehab my mom wouldn’t let me hang out with Mary because she thought that her sister could relapse at any time and then Mary would have access to her drugs. And she said Mary could become an addict too because addiction normally runs in the family. I guess she’s right, but Mary was my best friend at the time and I’m not even allowed to talk to her anymore. But if she does like my friends, I can go to big public places like the movies and she picks me up. Usually my curfew is nine or ten depending on how much she likes the person, but sometimes she lets me stay out really late until like eleven if I’m with my cousin.
She never lets me go to parties – even birthday parties and graduation parties and stuff, unless there is a parent or I let her go with me.
I’m not really allowed to date and when I give a boy my phone number I have to give them my mom’s because they can’t call me on mine. And when she answers they get all weirded out. She scares them too. One time my boyfriend called me during finals week and she told him to break up with me because he was a distraction and to never call her phone again. But I didn’t even know at the time because she didn’t tell me he even called and I have no other way to contact him. She usually doesn’t tell me if a boy calls and if a friend calls that she doesn’t like she won’t tell me either.
Even when I was dating my boyfriend – he broke up with me because of her – she would follow us on our dates. If we went to see a movie, she would sit in the row behind us though, so at least she wasn’t right next to us. And when we would walk around after she would walk a few feet behind us.
Since I can’t use the computer in her break room anymore, I use proxies on the library computers sometimes to go on myspace. But when she found out I had one because a friend accidently mentioned it in the car, she demaded to see everything on it and then deleted it.
Despite my good grades I’m not allowed to leave home. I have to go to community college next year.

I know someone who, let’s say, “supplies”her prescribed medication, Oxycontin to a select group of people, and this is how she makes a living. She also supplies her medication to her 3 boys, one going on 19, one in his late 20′s, and one in his early 30′s. All 3 boys, ( and their mother), are completely reliant on the drug. They can’t go a day without it, or they will suffer from withdrawls. The oldest one just had a child of his own and has decided to go to rehab. She told him that when he gets out of rehab, he should find a doctor that will rescribe him Oxycontin and Fentanyl, due to his bad back. I tried to tell her that what she is doing is wrong. She says that her kids are grown men, and can make their own decisions, and sees nothing wrong with giving them her medication. The middle child doesn’t work, and only leaves the house to get Oxycontin if his mother runs out, and the youngest, takes 1 or 2 classes at a community college, and refuses to work. He can’t even make his own lunch. I beleive she does this so that her kids don’t leave her, cause she’ll be lonely. Am I the only one who thinks that this is unnacceptable?

My mother. She is a junk food addict. Guess what’s all throughout my home? YES! JUNK FOOD!

I am trying to fast, but I always quit early, due to the temptations. Can anyone give me any tips on how to battle these temptations and SUCCEED for once?

Thanks!
Um, for W,
Fasting is when you aren’t allowed any food at all, and in my case, only water, for an extended period of time. I am generally aiming for NO food.

To shut her up!
I don’t think Arsenic or Rat Poison is a good idea! I could end up in Prison!

My best friend gives my Godson Gatorade/Powerade in a sippy cup all day long and even when he goes to sleep. He is 15 months old and she doesn’t give him anything else to drink. He has constant diarrhea. And she has given him tylenol almost everyday since he has been born. Almost at every whimper I hear her say “He just don’t feel good” and then she gives him tylenol. I just don’t know how to say to her that this can not be good for him.

Television and sex are probably the hardest things that I’m addicted to that I would have trouble giving up for anything. But I think I would give up sex if I saw my parents getting busy with my father talking dirty to my mother. I think that would do it for me.

im 17 and I want to give my mom an intervention, I don’t really know how to do it. is there some facts about how bad her health is to tell her.. shes almost 51 and i can see her liver damage,, she is a very slow healer to wounds bruises and bruises easy and retains water on her belly shes also always tired and depressed and has sleeping problems due to her alcohol consumption. also who should i invite and what should i tell them to say

My mother has been trying to take my daughter age 12 from me since she was born. I have had countless restraining orders, a 2 year order of protection for both me and my daughter and I have moved to several different states only for her to find me and cause more trouble. I have recreationaly used marijuana in the past (which I know is a “no, no”) However I have never used in the presence of my children. The last time I smoked I did not know at the time that I was pregnant and as soon as I discovered that I was I never touched it again. Unfortunately mother discovered where I lived a month later and began secretly meeting with my daughter at a community theater play that she was rehearsing for. Knowing my past history with marijuana she convinced my daughter that if she went to school and complained that I was a drug abuser that CPS would come and take her away and then she would be able to come and live with her. CPS came and removed my children from my home and requested a hair follicle test that we all know can go back up to three years. I began to cooperate with CPS for the return of my children who were placed with my Mother In law instead of my mother. When my mother discovered that she would not be getting or considered for custody of my kids she pressed the issue with the police to arrest me for harming/neglecting my unborn fetus. And I was. CPS did not push for this arrest, my mother did. My question is this. I never harmed or neglected my children. They were well taken care of. I never did any other drugs like crack, heroin, meth, ect. Nor did I ever knowingly smoke marijuana while pregnant. What the hell can I do to fight this??? What can I do to fight her. I know that this is not the end of her tyrant and vendetta against me. Please give me some advise.
Thanks RJ and JC’s Mommy…. I have been doing exactly what you advise. I also have a lawyer, a beautiful home, I don’t drink, smoke cigarettes, ect. I also have the finances to take care of them all. The only the CPS and the law have found me “guilty” of is a positive drug test for THC. I appreciate your understanding…it gives me strength.

Instead of giving the children to a stable father in the military ? While he was deployed she cheated on him with someone from his extended family, she was also in the hospital for overdosing on pills and alcohol, and their military housing was taken away because she kept it unlivable (their words). He is not going anywhere anymore and the courts are actually thinking of giving the kids and his car to her why?

A friend of mine told me that and i was just curious. I dont drink a lot of soda while im pregnant, but when I do have an urge I will only drink sprite.
