And parents teach their children that another family's upheaval is none of their concern -- "mind your own business." This world would be a trifle better if we DIDN'T mind our own business so often.

If he hits you in public, then I hope he runs into a big guy named Bubba who will teach him a lesson.

Bubba will get him in jail. Dad will be someone's girlfriend!

Hmmm. I don't believe in lowering oneself to your dad's level. Please don't go to the least common denominator.

You are right.. Disney World 2006. Man was yelling at his wife and little boy using profanity that would put a sailor to shame. I'm standing there waiting for my grandchildren to come of the bathroom. No one is doing a thing and there were some big guys passing by His wife is crying and so is the little boy. I walked over and said politely ,you should be ashamed of yourself! I looked at his wife and son and I ask the wife, why don't you take up for your child? She told me to mind my own business and the guy didn't say anything he was so stunned and maybe because my husband and the boys walked out of the bathrooms where we were standing. My husband is a big guy and when I told him what had happened the guy was already gone.
.
I was so mad I was crying, not for the woman who is dumb enough to stay with the jerk. I think of that little boy and I still see the image of hs little face.

I think you reap what you sow. What goes around comes around either in this world or where you spend eternity.

The things that really get me in a fighting mood is when I see someone being mean to a little child. The next is a father or mother who abuse their children. Children are a gift, not a burden. I see these sweet little old folks who are left in a rest home and they crave attention. I hate to see an older child treating their parent like they are a burden.

I have said some things to people who I see doing this and it dosen't scare me at all to take up for them. It's like Wondergirl said about all these enticing things children see at the mall and yet when they cry the parents jerk them around by their arm or yell at them. I would love to shake them and say, these children are only children, don't treat them as if they are a inconvenience.

My third... People who are mean to animals. I hate it it makes me furious
Any human who would abuse and hurt a little animal would hurt and abuse a child. I believe that. Okay EMOP, I'm through ranting now.

You are a nice girl and I know soon you will be out of that horrible situation.

I desperately want to be with my x. Today he proposed a deal to me. That if I do not have sex with anyone for 10 months, we can be together again. I'm uncertain if I want to take this deal. Not because I plan on having sex, I don't, but because I do not like that he would be placing stipulations like that. Opinions?

EMOP.. concentrate on what is going on in your home. Deal with that and the fact that your father will be getting out of your life soon... DON'T get side tracked and end up in another bad situation with your ex boyfriend. You're seventeen, you have plenty of time for dating and finding the right one when you are out of the mess in your home life.

I'm almost out of home already

Then give yourself time to find out who you really are. Don't define yourself by thinking you need a man in your life ,another bad experience
Could send you spiraling right back to where you've been. There will be a nice guy someday but you need to work on yourself confidence first.

I have always told my own children the same thing.I always taught my children to be strong and independent and NEVER depend on anyone else to make them happy or NEVER let another person have the power to make them miserable.

Strength comes from wiithin yourself and through the Lord. Being by yourself and being happy about yourself is where strength begins. No guy can make you feel good about yourself if you don't like the person you are.
EMOP, I'm telling you the same thing I would tell my own kids, stay away from people who bring you down. We all care for you!

You don't need to have a boyfriend/girlfriend to be happy.

Without sounding mean, it sounds like you might be a very needy person and you need to find your own way before dating or seeing or going out with anyone.

Sorry to be harsh but I just think you need to sort out your problems before dragging someone else into them.

When you say you are almost out of home are you planning on moving into your own place?
That's a great first step.

I agree, that's a wonderful first step. :)

I know in your other thread I told you its okay to date around, as long as you stayed within the bounds of good behavior, and I still think it's the right thing to do, but life is a lot more than just dating. Its also about what you do for yourself, that makes you happy, and able to do for yourself, as far as taking care of yourself.

Hard to leave home, and be on your own without the proper skills, and education, to support yourself. That would be a good balance in your life, and one that would give your future a big boost, and also more options, and opportunities, to really be able to do what you want, and not just depend on a guy for the basics of life. You can only have so much fun, and its more fun to be had when you can care for yourself, on your own. Now would be a great time to lay those foundations for the future
