- My husband and I have been working on an open adoption for some time. We've been finalized with homestudy and other paperwork since late March. Since then, we've had numerous birth couples look at us. The one thing that keeps coming back time and...
- Anyone else have toxic relatives they deal with for the sake of their spouse? I hate my mil and am working on it with a counselor. How have you gotten past the hate out of respect for your spouse? I have minimized mil's manipulations with me and...
- Hi Everyone. My husband and I are having a disagreement over going on vacation. We had to move houses about 9 months ago for our daughter to get into a school district that had the right services for her (high functioning autism and needs...
- Last October, when my husband and his mother went to counseling she demanded time with our kids. Previously, she hasn't had much contact with them for the last year because of 3 incidents with her screaming and hitting her grandkids (two with...
- Saw a tshirt that read:If you stare long enough at my child, maybe you will cure autism. Then, we can work on your lack of social skills. Absolutely loved it. I will remember it every time I get those stupid stares at the grocery store.
- Seriously, how low can you go? My husband is receiving an award at our church. It's a surprise and I had to invite family/friends to Mass and a spaghetti dinner afterwards. I invited both of his parents, 3 siblings, and some friends. His mom...
- So, I've posted quite a bit about my MIL and her daughter's (aka: puppets). I finally had enough and really didn't care what they thought. Instead of waiting for hubby to set boundaries with them and being livid when he failed to, I started...
- I've posted before, but need some ideas. My MIL refuses to acknowledge or accept my daughter's autism spectrum (PDD-NOS) disorder. My daughter can handle about 2 hours. So, for Christmas celebration with entire family (loud, chaotic, and lots of...
- My husband is addicted to porn. He's been in counseling for a couple of months and claims to have gone 30 days without looking at porn. I believe he's telling me the truth but don't really know for sure that's why I said "claims". Anyway, things...
- Hi,Just wondering what everyone does for the holidays when it comes to big extended family gatherings. My husband comes from a big family. My MIL demands all her children and their families come home for every holiday. While it's annoying, I can...
- For the first time since my husband and I've been together (8 years of marriage), we didn't go to my MIL's for a major holiday. We had a lovely day with just hubby, myself, and our 2 kids. Plus, our daughter wasn't stressed with her autism and the...
- Hi Everyone,I haven't posted in the sex abuse group before, but I'm super livid about something that happened recently. My husband thinks it's wrong as does my best friend, but they can't possibly understand how much it shook me to my core. I am a...
- Hi Everyone,Looking for some support and prayers for tomorrow. You can read previous posts about my MIL and the issues. We have been in counseling (husband, MIL, and me) since July. She announced that she was through with me, but was willing to...
