Letter to parents with ongoing situations *its long-no cliff
jna35 replied to simon22's topic in Parenting and Families
I think it's a beautiful and validating letter. I can tell it comes straight from your heart! -
That's awful that your parents aren't supportive of you!! I think if it's something you want to pursue then you should definitely do it!! It would be a big step, but you know what? You CAN do it!!! Good luck to you!!

If you need to leave for whatever reason I think it's important to do it with respect. Try to remain amicable. Sometimes due to circumstances that isn't possible, but always have regard for the other's feelings. Don't hold grudges as they are not healthy. If the person you were with was not so nice then be relieved that you are no longer with them and leave it at that.
-
Also, you may want to look into support groups that can help you get your life together. Raising a child is an awesome responsibility and I'd say the most rewarding, but hard to do alone. Don't be afraid to ask for help.

Well put Jetta!!

Hmmmm....perhaps they are lost or there is some sort of delay. Basically, I just said that since she seems to want a surprise then maybe you should make it a special outing. I assume you are in Santa Clara County since you mentioned Great America. I suggested a nice picnic at Vasona Park or maybe The Friendship Gardens. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, but I'm sure your thoughtfulness and effort would be appreciated. Also, if you can bring her flowers, even just a single rose or something out of your garden (or your neighbors with their permission) that would be a nice touch. These things don't cost a lot of money, but can mean much more than expensive gifts. Also, just be yourself, be sweet, be respectful, which I'm sure you are and everything will fall into place.

My gosh Sweetie, I am SO sorry!! That has to be very hard for you!! Do your brother and his wife offer you any emotional support? You've had to grow up much faster than any child ever should. Please hang in there and know that people do care!

Wow, you have a lot of responsibility at such a young age. Just remember that your baby should now be your #1 priority, so before you move you need to make sure you will be able to care for yourself and your child. Are you immancipated? If not, that could cause some problems too without the O.K. from your guardian. Also, if you're current bf is "crazy" then I would advise you not see him. It's sad that his mother thinks of you that way. I hope and pray that my children don't end up as parents at such a young age, but if they did they would have my full support. I can understand the long distance phone bill though, unless you guys are paying for it. Good luck to you and I send you a hug!

I sent you a couple pm's so hopefully you got those. Yes, asking a girl on a date is different than asking her to be your gf. I guess it depends on what you want. If you want her to be your girlfriend then you will need to ask her. If you just want to take her out then you'll need to ask her if she'd like to go to a movie or whatever you have planned.

Opinions please about my e-mail

I agree with annie24. Also, maybe your mom or dad would have better luck getting your portfolio released if all else fails. -
Wow, congrats for getting this far!! I'm sure you will do GREAT!!! What are you getting the PhD in? The best of luck to you!!!
-
I've never had that happen to me before. What exactly is she doing that's giving you that impression?
-
It sounds like she wants you to ask her. Yes, that's a good sign. Good luck!
-
I don't mind, but I prefer to receive.

Why are you so quick to judge your friend? Is he doing something illegal? Friends are there through thick and thin and accept you for who you are.
-
I agree with RayKay. Why not just move on? I wouldn't want to be with someone that lies . As for not dating casually, well how else are you going to meet the one you wish to marry? She certainly doesn't sound like the right one for you. BTW, not everyone dates with the intention to marry. Also, I can see wanting to date people that share your morals and values, but there is nothing wrong with casual dating. That's how you get to know people.

Great America is a lot of fun and I hope you guys have a great time. Where you haven't seen each other for a while it seems like you may be jumping the gun a little by asking her to be your gf so quickly. Have you thought about dating for a bit first and then asking her. As for how, just tell her what's in your heart. I don't think she'll care too much where you do it, but some young girls have lots of romantic notions, so a more special place might be in order if that's the kind of girl she is. Good luck to you!
-
RayKay has great insight and I couldn't have said it better myself! Also, you said they got the dog while they were together, so perhaps he loves this dog. I know I would miss my pooch terribly if I didn't have her around and would definitely want to care for her. Just a thought. Talk to your boyfriend and share your feelings. Don't let your insecurities ruin a good thing.

One word of advice is to learn from your mistakes in this relationship. So she went to a movie you guys were going to see together. In the grand scheme of things that's not a big deal. I'm sorry you are hurting now. Let her go and allow her to be happy with whomever she chooses to be with. You mentioned he is a tattoo artist and a truck driver. What difference does that make? Obviously she sees something in him that she likes. I would suggest you go out with friends and meet some new people. Obsessing over her will not endear her to you and it sounds as if she's moved on and as hard as it is I suggest you do the same. Good luck to you!

The other posters have said what I wanted to say so perfectly! Youth is not an excuse for cheating on your husband and not using protection. I got married at 19 and would NEVER dream of doing that to my husband because it would hurt him so deeply and moreover- I love him and respect him! You definitely need to come clean with your husband and get to the doctor to be tested for STD's! If you honestly love your husband then he should be the one you are most attracted to and want to be with. I think you may want to redifine the word love.

I agree with CATLOVR. You are once special guy and I mean that in the best way possible! Most guys your age just want to get into a girl's pants and it is so refreshing to read your post! I was 18 before I had my first boyfriend and a virgin, so was he and we have been married for almost 17 years now. There is someone out there waiting for you- trust me!

If it's that bad you should go to a doctor!! When mine had a bit of an infection I went back to the place I had it done and she knew what to do. I didn't have to take mine out. She just had me clean mine a bit better with antibacterial soap 3x a day. Mine healed up quickly. So another option would be to go to a pro piercer and ask their opinion. They deal with these things all the time and will direct you to a doc if need be. Also, do you have a bar or a ring? I find the bar is much easier to keep clean.

Thanks everyone. I'll give it a try. I appreciate the support.

Help me, I don't know what sex I am anymore?

You're welcome Tigris. I am glad you are going to talk with someone. I hope you are able to find the happiness that you deserve! -
Please don't let him make you feel pressured into doing things you are not comfortable with. If he cares for you he will respect you.
