megs85 I hope she can come back from all the negative publicity, I never was a huge Britney fan until recently, but I think she cops alot, and handles it well. If she's starting to fall apart at the seams, who can really blame her? Imagine being a teenager hounded...

megs85 That's a really good point. Some people are under the impression that anyone diagnosed with a mental illness is unable to function within "normal" society, but this isn't the case. Depending on the severity of the mental illness, and with proper management...

megs85 What a fantastic outlook on life "Every day that I wake up is a miracle." I think if we all lived with that mantra in life the world would be a very different place. I'm sorry to hear of your cancer and I hope that you recover and that you can find joy in...

megs85 It's amazing what a change having a child can make to your life. I was 20 when I had my eldest (who is almost 2 now). I was never really that much of a party girl, but my other half was WILD. He has calmed down so much since theboys were born, it still amazes...

I have been working with a client lately and she is a crack addict. She is on it really bad; so bad to the point that all her kids except for the two oldest were born crack babies. Well, she moved here from California and as I got...

megs85 Well for her kids sake, I'll keep my fingers crossed that she does manage to pull her socks up and turn her life around once she has been deserted. It's hard when the kids are old enough to understand and miss their mother, but at the same time- she really...

My sister has tried to kill herself twice, and is now okay and on meds for manic depression. My young daughter acts a lot like my sister did at her age, with mood swings and such. Do you think depression runs in families?

megs85 I agree with you on most points. Parents are not the only ones to blame. The media promotes unhealthy diets in young children by using unhealthy foods as promotional material by plastering much loved and popular cartoon characters or whatever, and including...

megs85 I'm not big on onions myself so I can totally relate to your kids lol... I think it's normal for children to dislike one or two foods, just as adults do... Personally, my son hates avocado's. No idea why, he loves basically anything else, and inhales his...
