One minuite things seem to be soo good in life and then all of a sudden everything seems on a all time low.This week it has been like it all week on and off all the time.I have had all the usual things along with the good news as in more money than i thought in the bank and then the bad news as in my partner has gone back to the way he used to be as in the attitude towards the children and myself.One stage i think my feet are getting and feeling better and the next ten times as painful.

Brother ( Are you brother or sister :) )
Is your family a religious one? If not, bring them close to religion and spirituality. Things would get much better!!! :)

Well, I believe God has his ways. We we are bad, we are left with bad people. When we run, too much, after material world, we lose ourself. I suggest to begin with bringing a change within yourself. Start by thanking God for whatever you have and whatever you are. Work on inner peace and time management. Its not necessary to start by going to Church. God is in your heart. Search for him, there. ;)

I know how you feel. I feel this way about my trifling mother-in-law. One minute she is very nice to me and being so sweet and all. Then the next thing that I know, she is nasty and hurtful. This woman will say any and everything mean to me out of her mouth, without even realizing the effect that it has upon me. She will do this to hurt me. Belittling me is her pleasure. It is sad and sick how she treats me. It is all good one moment, then sooner or later she will be the witch from hell! In life, we will just have to learn how to be happy and deal with the sadness when it comes. It is demanding but that is life for us all.

Something has got to change here as this is not fair on any of us aswell as that i think that if he wants to argue i will not even argue back as i just think it drags the arguements out alot longer.I think tomorrow night i will sit up stairs out of the way and make sure that my son stays in his room as that way it is one less arguement.

OH yes, plus if your kids are the kind who love to argue and step out of line, is probably good to work out an agreement, such that they let you handle those to come and not provoke more.

I know what you mean. Sometimes when things start to go bad, everything is bad. When good things start to happen, everything is good. I hope your partner is just having a bad day, and you can work everything out.

yes it is! but one thing we have to do in order to grow is to learn our own mistake..
sometime it served this a lesson to us.. life is not colorful without this trials and suffering. it serves this as a challenge for us to make us strength for the next battle of our life.. what we to do is always pray and ask for guidance to our Almighty..God Bless!

hi jugsjugs I know what you mean , as I too have been there and done that too, but somehow things do eventually get better. I am so sorry your partner has gone back to the way he used to be, as that cannot help
your state of mind either. wish I had some good advice but all I can say is I am going to send a ton of best wishes and prayers that your mate will get b ack into a happy mode and change his attitude towards you and the children. sometimes if you get enough mylot prayers headed your way they really may help make some good changes in your life. hugs from hatley. Nothing like pain too to take the joy right out of life, sending my prayers now to help you not to hurt and your family to warm up and be happy together again.

Thanks Hatley, i hope you are keeping well still.I think that i have had more down days this week then up days and what with the tention in the house it is not really helping things and i think that its the waiting for the arguement that is what is also getting to me as i would rather get it all aired and sorted out rather than having to wait for it.The pain is getting soo bad tonight i am nearly in tears just getting up as for putting my feet up and trying to stay off them well that isnt going to happen in this house.

That's just the way life is. I've often heard that life is like a rollercoaster. It's full of a lot of ups and downs. Sometimes a rollercoaster goes sideways and upside down, though, lol. I put my faith in God and pray that things will get better. If you trust in God, all will be well.

Life is most definitely full of ups and downs. All we can do is make the most of the high moments and ride out the lows as best we can.
It is not easy to do this when it is someone else causing the problems. Perhaps he needs some counselling or a break from work or something. Have you noticed anything that may trigger these feelings in him?

I don't think that life would be the same as what we are used to if we didn't experience the ups and downs that make up the major semblance of life. This past week has actually been better for us than the rest of the year has been to date. However, that doesn't mean that we haven't experienced more than our fair share of ups and downs this year. We've been dealing with a lot of medical issues in the house this year and they have been the main fruit of the lows that we've had this year. Some of the positive things are in the fact that we are in a much better financial situation than we were in this time last year.

Hello friend!!
You are right, life is full of ups and downs... we even don't know what will happen with us in next moment...
If I will analyze my life so far then I can say that I have seen many ups and downs whether it is regarding friends or education or any other field...
Well, life would not be so interesting without ups and downs... these make us strong... these teach us a lot for future....
Happy for your good news and sorry for your sad news dear friend...
Never give up.... All these things are part of life....
Take care dear friend!!
Have a great time!!
Happy myLotting!!

A sum of up and down are equal to life. If you see more closely, you can see a 50-50 things in between. If you can manage your surroundings with this 50/50 ratio ie not too tight or too loose, you can succeed in your life. In most cases, may be silly things, such situations emerges due to attitude, if you are little bit able to co-operate with the other party, you can easily win. But unfortunately, people are not willing to change, they want to be there on, where they are. If you act little wisely to resolve a porblem, act accordingly. The result is that you will get appreciated by the other person and at the same time, the situation become more energetic also.
Try, I think it wll workout.
Best regards,
Thank-s

That's life. It would have been boring if everything is "going up" in our life. That would have been a dream or fantasy. All the negative things that are happening in our life are just challenges. Its meant to make us stronger so we will have a happier and meaningful life. Everything will going to be fine in the end. Good luck :D

That's the life seems to go jugs. Fortunately we have some ups that save us getting too depresed. At least it'e better than some poor unfortunates whose lives are all down. This is one thing that keeps me going at times, knowing there are mllions worse off than me, so why should I feel sorry for myself when I'm having a downer.

You know that you are on an emotional roller coaster. Mentally if not physically step off and away from the situation. Go for a walk, find a quite place if nothing else just before you go to sleep or when you first wake up. It only take a couple of minutes. You'll be surprised how strong this can make you. Blessings

Recently I have felt these ups and downs every day and sometimes even some in just a day.I don't know if this could be called luck or I am unlucky.I just don't have enough time to feel happy from something great that had happened because something awful happns right away.
