I want to learn Jujutsu. How do I go about this? Being well over 40, will I find a trainer?

My daughter was at a USSSA softball tournament over the weekend. The officiating was HORRIBLE! In one game (of a double-elimination tournament) the officiating was so bad that the winning team's...

I must agree with the other posts. You're not his wife... or his mother. Either accept him "as is" or move on. If you're afraid that he has anger issues, then tell him that you're concerned and that...

It's strange. I didn't get counseling after my dad's death. I didn't know how I was going to get along without him. Then I understood that I knew a lot of people who had lost their parents and they...

I think you just wrote it!

Life is full of risks, that is, if you're going to have any kind of life. I have taken a few risks myself. Some of them pay off, others do not. But there is only one way to find out. Be bold and go...

I don't think you need a therapist or a psychiatrist. What you do need is to tell them the truth. By lying to your parents you are only aggrivating the problem further. Truth is good food for the...

I'm going to shoot it to you honestly. Not having a funeral is very bad idea. Your family and/or friends should have the opportunity to care for you after you pass on. Funerals are not about the...

We are always glad to help people that feel that way, but you need to be a little more specific. Whay do you wish you had never been born? Give a few brief details please.

There are a lot of things that have to happen from this point. There is a funeral to plan (even if it has been pre-arranged), people to visit, and tears to dry. What your boyfriend needs at this...

Did you hear the entire sentence? I have never heard anyone make that statement on a professional level. The honest truth is that your grandfather will die when he gets good and ready to. Believe it...

I hope this helps. I am so sorry for your loss.

To be blunt, let him do it. You're his girlfriend, not his mother. You either accept him as he is or end the relationship. Besides, he's really not hurting anyone. If he's not seeing anyone else and...

She got the wrong idea about you and your relationship with her. That's not your fault. If she wants to be so bisexual then let her be. I once had a friend that was gay and I told him that I would be...

To begin with, your English is very, very good. Here in the U.S. there are people born and raised here that aren't as good at English as you are.

I'm just guessing here, but it sounds like you're...

It doesn't sound like he will leave you. Couples argue. That's just something that goes along with every relationship. In my opinion, as long as there is no abuse, and the occasional argument doesn't...

Wow! You have really dug yourself into a hole. Let's start from the beginning.

Some people are designed to self-destruct. For some reason they are just wired that way and there really isn't...

The loss of your husband is indeed a tragic and painful thing. But you can keep his memory alive. You both endured many things together, good and bad. You can recall countless moments of joy,...

You always continue to assure, reassure, encourage, and love no matter what is or is not happening. The fact that he is still communicating with you is a positive sign. You will know things are bad...

Stress is a rotton thing to live with. It can suck the life out of people fairly easily, as you've seen. Simply remind him that everything will be okay just as soon as he clears this hurdle. Remind...

A loss like this is always tragic. There was a very popular song back in the 80's called, "Don't Know What You Got till it's Gone". It's true. Most of us really have no idea how good we've got it...

JudyKayTee has several good points, and I would give them a try. If I were to add anything it would be this: If you use the direct approach, be sure to do it in private. You're not out to embarrass...

What do you mean by "abusive"? Please be specific. If they are physically abusive, are they armed? That is an important point. Are they mentally/emotionally abusive? Are they financially abusive?...

yawpac, I would be honored. Thank you for your kind words.

The way to become a perfect dad is to make peace with the fact that you're not going to be a perfect dad. You're going to make mistakes. Let your daughter know, as she grows up, that she is loved by...

Yes, life sucks. But you can't compare your life to everyone else's. And that is exactly what you are doing. You have used terms like, "Broke - Girlfriend - Virgin - Ugly - 34 not 24." You are...

If he's never betrayed you before then you can't assume justly. So be careful what you search for. You may not like what you find. If you're right, you'll be crushed. If you're wrong, you'll look...

JudyKayTee has a good point. It sounds like you're shooting yourself in the foot then asking why you can't walk. You should probably re-examine your point of view, and change what you can change,...

You are very well spoken to be as yound as you are. You seem really mature. I'll try to help.

First of all, anyone who has tried to commit suicide over thirty times doesn't really want to die. He...

If I'm understanding you right, your lonliness is causing depression-like symptoms. Take caution during these times. Now is not the time to analyze your life. You're feeling pretty low. Reflecting on...

This is a common question. It happens more often than people think. I hear you saying that it's difficult for you to watch him go down in flames, and you feel powerless. I've been there - watching my...

I saw something very disturbing on the news today. It seems that the guidelines for autism have been changed so fewer people can be diagnosed with it. Now, if you have so much as an average I.Q. You...

Do you want to be in a relationship? I ask because some people who share you discomfort don't wish for a relationship with another. Some people were just meant to be alone and they are comfortable...

You're right. It's not that easy. If it were that simple half of the worlds problems would be solved. But fear not. Help is on the way!

What does it take to be independent? Money. Go get a job......

Have you ever told him what you've just told me? If not, then maybe you should. Your concerns are very justified, but if he knows nothing about your thoughts and feelings then you can't exactly...

Yes, it is painful to watch those that you love self-destruct. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do about it. You know the old saying, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them...

It sounds like your saying that, because you don't make friends easily, you have a great degree of lonliness. Why would you form a crush on someone you have not ever, cannot now, nor ever will meet...

It's not a disorder and you don't need professional help. What I think you need is some perspective. Instead of trying to do all of those things together, just do them one at a time. Pick the easiest...

I hear you saying that your boyfriend is having problems, you can't help him, and it's affecting you both. Based on what you've said, I would say it's time to seek professional help. The depression...

Dreams are kind of strange. Some people try to understand dreams. I don't. To me, dreams are just your imagination going for a walk while your body rests. I'm not sure your dream really means...

So what your really saying is you're bored. Can't say that I blame you. Two schools of thought here. First, I imagine that you can look back and see some of the mistakes that you've made during your...

It's been 3 years since he's lied to you. That's a very good start. You might not be inclined to do so, but try to give him a little credit for 3 years of success. Then give yourself credit for...

Love takes a lot of work on both parts. 42 years is a long time to spend with one person and you should be applauded for your stamina. So far, we have heard your side of the story. What's his side?...

Wow! That's horrible. I'm sorry that you're going through that. As far as your son is concerned, he's an adult now. You can't MAKE him do anything anymore. If he doesn't want you to participate in...

In my opinion, what would be abnormal would be if he WASN'T curious. He's 4, and doing what a normal 4 year old would do. Ask yourself this: If (as an adult) you witnessed something you had never...

Big butts are a pain in the butt. Your boyfriend isn't dating your butt, he's dating you. If he's happy with you as you are right now then that should make you happy (one less thing you have to worry...

There are a couple of ways of looking at this. First of all, your "social peers" will graduate... in about 6 years. They are so busy partying and having a good time that their mommies and daddies...

I noticed that you mentioned running away. There has to be more to you than that. Running away is what gutless cowards do. I don't mean for that to sound ugly, but you are worth so much more than...

I'm just guessing here, but this sounds like a legal question. You have power of attorney and you want to know what your legal rights are under the law in regards to patient advocacy. You might want...

You obviously loved your grandma very much. Because her death was sudden, you probably didn't get to say "goodbye". Say it now. Write her a letter telling her everything that you've said here and...
