Take this for a grain of salt.\n\nYou're longing for what is no longer here.  We hold on to things, especially one another.  But we are very fragile, and we break easily.  But for some reason we always assume that everything will go well, and are shocked when it doesn't.  You're problem is reconciling the facts with your internal concept of the way things should be.\n\nNot to sound stupid, but remember Forrest Gump and his box of chocolates?  It's kinda like that.  And sometimes the chocolate we take is not what we wanted.  \n\nI think that you are probably in a very sad situation, and your life has been permanently disrupted, and this is what's causing you the most heartache.  You need to take care of you just as much as you take care of him.  JUST AS MUCH!  If that means going away on a vacation by yourself or with friends, then so be it.  Also, find others in your community that may help you with the burden.  You have to find a release for yourself.  \n\nGood luck.

While I fully support getting a puppy, I think there are others ways to cheer yourself up. I always listen to music, or call a friend that I trust if I need to vent. I would remind myself why I broke up with him and how much of a skeeze he was so you could enjoy being single for a time. (i mean seriously...in the experiance ive had with guys, all they did was call every 30 seconds and annoy the crap out of me.)

I laugh and smile all the time, does that make me happy? Do you think maybe the family is pissed off because of the abusive BF? Depressed? I don't know, Maybe your just paying the price for the choices you are making in your life. You know you can start over. Your young, so learn from your mistakes. Thats what life is all about...

You have a specific goal in mind and have set your heart upon reaching it. You expect your loved ones to support you and encourage you. But it seems that subconsciously, you feel that your loved ones are not supportive or that they are not giving you the encouragement that you wish they'd given you. You are feeling very frustrated at having to make your own decisions and that no one is helping you or atleast lending you a hand.

This happens when people are neglected. Find something you like to do and make friends who are positive. Sometimes, even having friends through the internet gives you something to look forward to, and it can help boost your confidence and self-esteem and not make you feel like you want to run away. And of course, make a personality of your own, so that your family can notice you and appreciate your inner beauty! :)

Of course, it happens to all of us with a busy family life. Just plan ahead a little, and set the scene. Kids at Grandma's, candles, a plate of cheese and fruit. pretty lingerie, and maybe brand new sheets. Your attention will be only on your hubby.

I have a different emotion the night before my period. One night i cried all night because my dad didn't tell my mum she looked nice before they went out and another i completely lost it because my sister used my new unused toothbrush. Have your monthly meltdown. If it's infront of family who cares. I just steer clear of friends and boys, may freak them out.

dont pressure him but let him know that you think you're ready to spend the rest of your life with him and that you guys have 2 beautiful children.  he should know what to do and what's right especially when you guys got saved.  good job on that, it feels good to have god doesn't it?!  best wishes for your family's future!!

I always thought that's what Summer vacation / Christmas vacation / Easter Vacation and all them other holidays was about......getting a break to rejuvenate. Or.....\n\nIt's called getting off you tail and finding another job. Quick the whining and be the adult you're suppose to be. Make a decision for yourself. Are we sure you need to be a teacher, especially if you need advice from total strangers. For goodness sakes. GROW UP.

It is b/c they love you.  It is probally harder on them than it is on you.  In a few years, when you have kids, it will become clear just how much they love you.  Until then, just hang in there.  I promise things are a lot different then what they seem.  I am 27 years old, and I felt the same way, until I "grew up."  Have a great day!

I wish i could say them same, but i honestly had a horrible Easter this year. \n\nMy husband had to work all morning, so we couldnt go to the Easter church service. This is also my son's first Easter (he is 6 months old.) Since he is too young to do anything, we didnt really have plans for him.\n\nMy husband got home from work 2 hours late, because they were so busy. The minute he came home form work, i made dinner, but he fell asleep on the couch. He wouoldnt even wake up to eat dinner. \n\nAll of our familes live out of state, so i couldnt enjoy it with them. So, this year, for Easter, i ate dinner by myself while my husband took a nap on the couch. Horrible horrible day for me :(

It's supposed to be so happy because it's a day of love and mush, and love is happiness.  But for single people, they don't really have anyone to love, and seeing all the people in love, especially on this day just makes them sadder. If you focus your attention on somehting else besides your lack of love, it can be happier. I've found voulenteering at an old folks home, showing your family how much you love them, and then buying yourself chocolate and something shiny helps.  Especially the chocolate part.

Sounds like a positive sign to me.  He is proud to be with you, and wants to share that pride with his family.

I wish that I could tell you a wonderful answer where everything will be great, BUT I know how you feel, I was an abused child and married when I had just turned 17.  Well he started reminding me of my Mother before long.  I had no family, no one but his family as my friends, I had no place to go, so I stayed, It became very clear that he didn't love me, but I was so afraid.  But after 19 years I packed up and left, scared out of my mind, but you know what even though it was hard, lonely, I learned so much about myself, most of all I learned that life is to short to spend it with someone that makes you so sad, and doesn't treat you like a lover, friend or partner but more like something that they bought and paid for like an old car, then it is time to build a life that can be happier than you could ever imagine.  Even small things can make you smile or just laugh out loud especially when you have always been controled or felt like you were going to get in trouble for.  Like I would leave the bed unmade, didn't have to cook, and on Sat. morning I would lay in bed until 2 if that is what I wanted to do.  And I will tell you when you can go and come when you please and you don't have to answer to anyone but yourself, you too may find that life can be happy and full of good, instead of a life filled  with mostly bad and a little good every now and then.  Please take it from a woman that has been there no one can do this for you but you.  And somethings are so worth the risk.  And remember this, I had a friend one time tell me how stong I was, when I said no I am weak, she said look at what you have already been through, anything else should be a breeze.

Hey, I think I can appreciate your answer but try following what I have been doing and I guess most of the people are happy with me.\n1. Remember you can not make every one happy all the times, Moral: Make some people happy some times, just prioritize your selves and your time.\n2. Put all focus to the people with whom you are: dont think about ur BF when u r with friend and vice versa.

I understand that you don't feel your best and you don't want to let your parents down but you might find that a weekend away does you good.  It will take your mind off how you are feeling, fresh air is a fantastic mood lifter in itself, and besides you always enjoy things more when you are not looking forward to them!  Hope you have a fun weekend whatever you end up doing :)
