- It seems to me that an awful lot of children and grandchildren on this forum have bipolar disorder. Is that something that comes from the mother's drug use, or just genetic?My husband's daughter was diagnosed a bipolar at her clinic, but that's the...
- The thread below started me thinking, and I thought i'd start a new thread.Several years ago we thought we'd have to take the older two girls when my husband's daughter wasn't sure where she wanted to live -- TX or NJ. I went on a...
- I have been routinely checking our eldest's history on her computer, because one time she typed in Miley Cyrus and got "Miley Honeypot." She was told to let us know if she accidentally got a bad site and she did.Well everything was OK until this...
- Even though we're doing the work of parents, we're still grandmoms and grandpops.So send all the kiddies to their rooms, put your feet up and relax with a good book!We've all earned it!
- OK, so I'm not proud of myself (well, maybe a bit...) but I've started listening in whenever my husband's daughter calls the kids. I told her months ago to stop telling them she's coming to visit, and did say I would start listening in if she...
- My husband's daughter was at our house last week and complained of a bladder infection. She has gotten several and was even hospitalized with a kidney infection last year. Of course she had lost her antibiotics, and I told her that when she went...
- We just got an automated phone message that our grandchildren will need certain shots -- without which they won't be able to attend school. The message got messed up so we didn't actually hear it, but I'm wondering if the brand-new, untested and...
- Someone here posted that their child was diagnosed with BPD. I found a site called BPDcentral.com, and it was a mind-blower!When you read the symptoms, the stories, you wonder which came first -- the addiction or the BPD. And if our children have...
- We live in NJ and are raising three grandchildren. Their "biodad" lives in TX and is a druggie like the "biomom." He isn't even the father of our eldest, but she doesn't know that."Biodad's" mom is somewhat of an enabler. She has more money than...
- I like long brunches in Center City with friends, maybe a Mimosa or Bloody Mary, political chatter, talk about books, the news, stroll downtown, etc.I love gourmet dinners with friends, at each other's home or in a "new" restaurant. I love trying...
- I've always been curious about something, and can't find any statistics online, so I thought I'd ask you all, since most of us seem to be dealing with addicted sons and daughters.Here goes: Did your addict children suck their thumbs when they were...
- When our youngest (now 6) was about three, he would say "I love you with all your heart."Now that has become our "special" thing, and I hope we say it to each other forever. I even taught him how to say "te quiero con todo su corazon" and we say it...
- We're raising three young grandchildren (ages 10, 7, and 6).The seven and six-year old were fathered by one boyfriend ("Al"), although there is some doubt about the six-year-old (rumors abounded when She was pregnant).The eldest, the 10-year-old,...
- I have always had a love for gourmet food. It's been a passion for the past 20 years, and I used to share cooking and entertaining duties with friends. It's taken four years, but I think those days are over. The meals with friends thing has been...
- When my mom lived with us, she couldn't remember what she did five minutes ago for the most part. And after a few years she couldn't even remember long-ago events. As you know, their whole personality dies slowly.But have you ever experienced what I...
