It is after 11pm and I was woke out of a sound sleep by my phone ringing. It was a man with a thick accent asking to speak to my husband. I told him he was asleep, what can I do for him? The man ( a russian immigrant) was calling...

puffin I just responded to your other thread in which you were taking in the other girl and I thought it was so awesome. Now that I hear this I must warn you that perhaps this girl might be a bad influence on your child. If it wasn't your daughter and it was her...

puffin Obviously she has no tact and I probably would've done the same thing you did. It's normal to want to lash back at a person who has hurt your feelings. She probably has negative things going on in her life for her to have said such a hurtful thing. Pray for...

Crackhead in the House

phatkat @phatkat (111) • United States 10 Feb 07

I just sent my husband to jail and possibly to the penn about 10 minutes ago; and for some reason, I have no sympathy for him. I have a 13 year old son whom is asleep right now (thank God). I had to make a decision to send him to...

puffin Honey let me tell you I have twin boys ( the light of my world) and their father was a crackhead. I dealt with it in the beginning because i was not fully aware of his addiction because he kept it away from the home. People would say little things but love is...
