I called my mother, told her happy mother's day. WE chatted.. not once did she ask about my mothers day or act interested in the conversation. I suddenly remember why I cant stand trying to win her approval. It shouldnt matter, neither of my parents will ever approve.

DH is out in the field for mothers day, but he is apparently planning an out of town day trip and paying 2 of his guy friends to watch our toddler. (trust me, the whole army is needed with our child lol) I'm just not so sure I want to go though.

My mother has NPD. She was verbally, physically, and psychologically abusive. I hated Mother's Day, and the pressure to show my love. I didn't love her. She would give us shopping lists, and openly criticized anything we gave her from the heart, so I stopped giving her anything a couple of years ago. I can't even enjoy the day with my own daughter now.

My husbands TDY to place 6 hours away. I just made reservations at a hotel half way between and were gonna meet with the kids so we can all be together on Mother's Day, he seemed really excited, yay. He surprises me sometimes. :-)

Why are some people so terrified of being alone??? Why do you stay in a terrible relationship that you are miserable in? Or why do you go from relationship to relationship?? Here's an idea, get some mother fucking counseling so you can make yourself happy and not have to rely on someone else!!

We do "it" because we love the person, not because of the occupation. Only the STRONG can be a military spouse. I don't HOPE my spouse will return, I know my spouse will return. And my children have both a MOTHER and FATHER no matter where their career takes them. Be thankful for military members and your darling husband never had to be drafted, or dodge a draft.

He went away to boot camp and I felt like I didn't miss him....I feel like I don't attach myself enough to people to miss them. I don't miss my father who is dead. I don't miss my mother who is a thousand miles away. But I know I miss them, I just don't FEEL like I think I'm supposed to...I don' even know what it's like. And I told my husband I was okay with him being away and he looked at me sadly and said " When you get healthy (I have OCD, anxiety and depression), I'm so scared you're going to leave me." My anxiety is off the charts now....:(

I ran away from my abusive psychotic husband 17 months ago. After I left he admitted to me that he had been having an affair our entire relationship. With his mother. I always thought their relationship was weird but my God. After he got stationed somewhere else I've been unable to locate him. All I want is a damn divorce and the Navy isn't helping me in any way shape or form. I hate him. And I hate the Navy.

As a mother, it pains me to say this, but I'm having a really hard time making friends since every woman I know is pregnant, desperately trying to be, or has a newborn. I'm done with that stage in life. My only child is starting school soon, and I'm looking for friends who can have a conversation without the constant interruption of a baby or talk of ovulation. I even offer to come to them so they don't have to lug baby gear around, but they say it would interfere with naptime schedules. F--k! I miss my dudes back home.

So my hubby wants to go to South Carolina for the weekend. Problem with that is his mother lives there.The problem with THAT is she and i do not get along.She called me a low class bitch and lots of other stuff. My hubby wants her to watch our kids so he and I can go out. I don't want her to use that as a way to get out of disrespecting me. I want an apology. I feel if i let this go AGAIN..this isn't the first time she disrespected me. I feel that she needs to know she can't talk to me that way and think everything will be ok.I believe you have to teach people how to treat you.
