I'd like to respectfully disagree. Drug and alcohol abuse is in all levels of the economic strata. Poor people just have few resources to either overcome it or hide it. Look at the "affluenza" case. Those people had money but obviously had chemical dependency issues from way back. In my...

I think that probably when/if she started using again she probably cut the straight people slowly out of her life. I have an alcoholic friend who either calls me when he's sober and struggling but when he falls off the wagon he disappears from my life. This past year I wondered if he had died...

Here's what I don't understand. These women carry these children inside them, rub their own bellies, laugh at their kicks, take days and weeks choosing a name that means something to them, labor for hours in excruciating pain to bring them into the world, feed them, wipe their tender bottoms...

I wonder what he meant by memory issues. In the email she sent that was supposed to be quoting him, "he" keeps talking about not being able to remember things.

I've been reading this thread and these things are triggering deep painful feelings in me...Three months ago, after being prescribed klonipin for mild anxiety (SO WRONG ON SO MANY LEVELS) my son decided he couldn't deal with the increasing anxiety caused by the withdrawals between doses and the...

i live in the area and it might be interesting to note that right across the street from there is a small "rehabilitation" hospital for acute psychological cases. I don't want to go into detail as to how I know that but with the "cutting" on her arms they could be connected. She could have...

I also went to high school with Susan. We weren't close and I haven't seen her since, but she was a very sweet person with a wonderful smile. So, sad. This is the second girl from my school that has died violently. Horrible.

That's OK. I don't go trick or treating...but I do dress up. It's fun. I even convinced my husband to semi-dress up. We didn't get many trick or treaters so I have a gigantic bowl of candy that I'm going to have to get rid of somehow. Anyone want some Butterfingers?

I have my costume all ready to go and I'm 39. :woohoo:

I'm shaking as I post this but I just found out last night that my 13-year old stepdaughter was communicating with a 28-year old man. She had "met" him on a game website and gave him her cell phone number. They had been texting back and forth for a couple of weeks. We (her father and I)...

My ex-mother in law used to do this stuff (for attention, not money). She faked cancer, diabetes, possibly fibermyalgia, etc...etc... So when she told my ex the cancer had metastasized into her brain, I rolled my eyes and went about my business. Imagine my surprise when she dropped dead a...

No wonder that poor baby wet his pants if his mother beat him with hangars. I can't even type what I hope happens to her even though she's been acquitted. She may not have caused his death but she most certainly didn't deserve him.

Actually children drown in buckets all the time... http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/pubs/5006.html "Large buckets and young children can be a deadly combination. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has received reports of over 275 young children who have drowned in buckets since...

I had a lab sheppard who looked a bit like a pit who would lick you the second she looked at you but if we wrestled around or even got into a loud discussion she would bark and bare her teeth especially if the male person was the "aggressor." We theorized that before she was rescued she may...

What about his friend the other RSO he got caught smoking pot with in a park? (from this link http://www.sandiego6.com/news/local/story/Chelsea-King-missing-Poway-Rancho-Bernardo-jogging/zTLAKar0XUGyf78trbfHvg.cspx) I thought I read somewhere that that guy was sent back to prison for breaking...
