buffygirl Posted June 3, 2006 Report Posted June 3, 2006 Mar, thats great ^^^ totally goes in line of this thread, any members whom may not want to say what help they need, or visa versa are unsure of where to go for help.
MarMar Posted June 3, 2006 Report Posted June 3, 2006 Yeah, we hope we can get hotline-numbers for NZ, Belgiun, Estonia etc as well. Also, these numbers will be added to the first post of the thread.

These also could help members or guests who have someone they know aswell in need of help.
MarMar Posted June 3, 2006 Report Posted June 3, 2006 Yeah, it is a great idea, if I can say so myself, so thanks to Frankie for suggesting it in the mod-forum.

Emmadolly Posted June 3, 2006 Report Posted June 3, 2006 This has been a sad thread to read, we all have our problems with family issues at some point in out lives or with other matters. I think after reading a lot of the posts parents give up to easily, in my opinion. When you have a child you have to be there for them NO MATTER WHAT, if there is a medical reason or not. We are the only parents in both my children's classes that are still together, all the rest are single parents. When i over hear the mum's discussing their problems with the ex husband so freely in front of the kids, it makes my blood boil. It does so much damage to them emotionally, so when the dad will make contact with them, the poor child just does not know what to do. I am also a step- mum of a 15 year old daughter. My hubby and the woman broke up before she knew she was having her, and they never got back together, her mother is the most difficult person you would ever met, as soon as she started being difficult when Danica was 10 years old, i insisted that we went to court about everything. As i did not think it was right that the mum can stop contact between father and daughter. We won the court case, which meant that she was able to see little brother and sister, parents have to take responsability for their children, and that should never change. Our son has speech difficulities, and will be sorted out eventually after years of speech therapy. But Elliott and Abbie are my life, and i could never let them down.
MarMar Posted June 3, 2006 Report Posted June 3, 2006 I have enojoyed this thread, cruel as it may sound - meaning I do not enjoy the thought of members having problems they don't know how to deal with, but I enjoy the fact that some of us feel comfortable enough to post here to vent their heads and hearts for thoughts and feelings... I have myself written here several times. Things still go bump in the night at my place. I havr crappy days and I have days where I don't care. Like today, I have yet to get out of bed. It's not that I have been majorly depressed, it's just a "not"-day. These days occur several times a month with me, for longer or shorter periods of time. For the last week or so, after my exams were done (althought I have an oral exam left) and I had no more obligations, I have shut myself in the bedroom for most of the days. My boyfriend leaves for work early each morning, but I do nothing but sleep most of the days away. I try to read, but I don't manage to concentrate. Things go up and down. For now, it's mostly down.
