merrymapper Yes, you should forgive her. You've had a horrible childhood, but don't let bitterness ruin your whole life. Try to put all this behind you, as hard as it is.

mkup30 @mkup30 (494) • United States 20 Dec 06

She thinks I am an absolute zero and she always puts me down. She says I am pathetic b/c I don't have any kids and I am already 26. I am married though with a good job, a good career, an MBA, and my husband and I own a successful...

merrymapper She definitely has a problem, but try not to let it be a problem for you. Sometimes people do things like that because of their own insecurities. My mother always put me down, but now that she's dead, I wish I had done more to build her up. She sacrificed a...

merrymapper Go and do things, and it won't matter what you say, as long as she knows you are there for her. Ask her what she needs. Give her a big hug. It won't matter if you don't say anything.

merrymapper Have you talked to him about this? It's important to keep lines of communication open always. Ask to sit down and discuss it and try not to be defensive, but just let him know how you feel. Pray about it first. Prayer changes things.

merrymapper The grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence. Remind yourself of why you fell in love with your husband. Dwell on all the things you love about him. Forgive him if he has done things you don't like. Spend time with him. You don't know...

merrymapper What are you doing to help these issues? Are you volunteering at a homeless shelter, or a food bank? Are you doing something to be counted? It's fine to think of how the world could be different, but each one has a responsibility to do something to make the...

merrymapper I really like watching that show. I don't think he sets a good example in general as a Christian, but he appears to really care about helping the people he catches, and that's more than many Christians do. He is good to his wife and kids. He's helping in...

merrymapper I love them both, but right now I just have 2 old cats. They are really loveable, but they encourage me to cuddle up and stay in where it's warm. I need a little dog that I could walk and play fetch etc with. That would help me do more. I really love my...

merrymapper Would you have peace at any price? Would you give everything you have for it? Would you give in to the radical muslims and live the way they do, without any freedom, oppressed in every way? I prefer not to have that kind of peace. I don't like war, but the...

merrymapper If you are determined not to go to a doctor, and the pain has gradually gotten worse over time, it is probably arthritis. Many people seem to get relief from Advil or similar products. I use Biofreeze as a rub-on. I purchased it at a physical therapist, but...

merrymapper I honestly don't know about your disease, but I have had cortisone shots in all sorts of places, and they almost always give me great relief. The exception would be my shoulder, but it depends entirely on where you get injected. I finally did get shots in my...

Just curious.

religion

merrymapper I don't follow a religion, but I follow Jesus Christ and God the father. I go to a church to honor Him. He loves me and I love Him, and I try to do what pleases Him. He has healed me of severe asthma. He has freed me from a life that was going nowhere.
