Forum: Emotional Support

8/17 Update Things are going as well as we could hope. We got the results of his chromosome analysis (the Leukemia causes the cells to make changes and then go haywire thus the cancer) and his mutation (tel-AML1 12;21) is one of the most favorable for treatment and gives him a higher cure rate...

I've posted about DH before, how he always wants to DTD..(I mean always) and gets mad when I don't. I'm not talking like we do it once a week..I'm talking like we do it the night before and he gets pissed when he wakes me up (yes he wakes me up at 6:30) the next morning and I don't want to do it...

I cannot imagine what this family is going through right now. Their son, who is 4 years old, was diagnosed with Stage IV Wilms kidney cancer. They had to remove his kidney less than 24 hours after his diagnosis because he was hemorrhaging. They then found that the cancer had spread to his lungs,...

OMG, it's ruined my life. My doctor just diagnosed me with that disorder, which ruined most of my life. Anything and everything triggers it, even practically nothing. I never been able to shake off my worries and I go into a panic attack. My heart rate into the 100's and shallow breathing, etc. In...

I am so worried about my baby girl. She isn't a tiny newborn (she'll be 3 months tomorrow) but it is just so scary in little ones. My 2.5 yr old daughter has it also, and she is further into it than the baby. If the baby gets as bad as the 2.5 yr old...I dont' want to think about it. We are not...

Didn't we at one point have a prayer support thread? I looked and couldn't locate it, so I thought I would start a new one. (If there is one and I missed it, please feel free to merge/delete this one.)

hi i'm not sure where to begin. or how to totally describe what i mean. bear with me... we have been married for 7 years but together for 10. we have what i consider a happy home. we have two kids, pets, we are both happily employed and we live close to family and friends who we all enjoy...

Get it off your chest here! (Please keep in mind the rules about this thread, which are in the sticky at the top of this forum.)

I have been very good friends with a girl who I would consider to be my best friend. After college, we worked at the same company, talked on the phone several times a day, and hung out all the time. She was my maid of honor at my wedding. When my son was born, I sensed her pull away from me. ...

My SIL is driving my entire family insane. I have to start by saying that we LOVED her...ADORED her when she married my brother. They both had one son each, and it seemed like a wonderful situation. They married after less than a year of dating, which isn't a big deal...I only knew my DH 5...

A little back story - my aunt found out before easter that she is dying and she was given about a year to live. My mom was with her at the appointment and she told my mom not to tell any of us this. My mom told us anyway, but told us not to let on that we knew. Easter comes along and we are all...

I thought about just posting in the prayer thread, but since I think I'll probably be posting on more than one occasion, I decided to start a new thread. My mom was diagnosed with lung cancer on Tuesday. This came as a complete shock, as she is only 64, and has not smoked for 40 years. ...

I apologize in advance if this is going to be really long - the situation is about a year old and I want to tell the whole story in as much detail as possible... DH and his first cousin (E) have been as close as brothers their whole lives (they are both in their mid-30's now). The cousin was...

Hopefully this could last. First off, it's my fault I'm back in the job market, not anyone else's. My boss didn't fire me or force me to quit. I quit on my own. On top of that, I quit rudely. I went in one day and accused her of changing, not being the same, and not liking me. She was clearly...

I am so upset and frustrated right now, but I don't know if I'm just having a pity party for myself. DH and I (and our 2-year-old DD) live out of state from both of our families, approximately a 5-hour drive. My sister lives an hour away from my parents and has a daughter who is 8. Ever since my...

It's not going as well as I'd hoped. My brother decided that he'd take it upon himself to out her before she was ready to tell my mother. I posted here when I found out myself and got great advice and support. I'm sure she just needs time, but she's saying all the things that I've heard people...

I found out some stuff about my 15 year old sister yesterday. Sex, drinking, staying at her best friends house when the mom buys them alcohol, hanging with the wrong crowd, etc... I tried to talk to my mother about it but she acts like it's no big deal. Like she just doesn't care. So I took it...

My nephew (SIL’s son) is graduating from high school next year. Three weeks ago, MIL informed us that nephew would like to celebrate his graduation by taking a family vacation (ILS, SIL and nephew, BIL and husband, DH, DD, and me) on a Disney Cruise. While cruises are not high on our vacation...

My MIL was taking care of my SILs (who lives a few states away) dog for a few weeks. My son became very fond of Maggie and was always packing bags of toys to take over to MILs house to play with Maggie. Yesterday he was over there and the dog started having a seizure, my MIL and DS were taking...

My MIL is so awful, it is quite unbelievable. She is the character in Monster in Law, but worse! I'm hoping to get some good feedback or support from Dr. Phil today. I had several friends call me to tell me about the show's topic today. Then, my DH suggested I watch it. Anyone else watching...
