Any married couples, please help me here.

I just got into a verbal fight with a good friend of mine. I’m 21 and he’s 22. I’m single. He’s married. His wife is basically a complete B…..I….T….C….H. He does a lot of stuff for her, and she does nothing but use him. He feels that he needs to talk to me about this because I help calm him when some thing transpires between him and his wife. And he also likes when I give him suggestions. In a nut shell, here is how his wife acts. He asked his wife to take their 2 year old baby to the doctor because of a really bad cough he has. She said she can’t because she had a headache and she commented that “he will get it over it with some cough syrup”. I told my friend, his name is Aaron, I told him then you should take your son to the doctor to be checked out. He had no gas in his car, but he could have used his wife’s jeep (which he BOUGHT for her). The wife told him this “if you take my jeep, I will call the cops and report it stolen”. His wife is very immature.

Aaron pays for her car insurance. Tomorrow he is going to call the insurance company and take her off his insurance plan and now she will not be able to drive her jeep because she will have no insurance. I am pressing him very hard to do this. Because I have a feeling that he won’t stick to his guns. I’m so pissed that his wife would not let him use the jeep to take the baby to the doctor. So, I told Aaron, the next time she uses the jeep, call the police and make a report that she’s operating a motor vehicle with no insurance and then she can get ticketed for it.

And then just in general she is a complete B….I…T..C…H. She doesn’t work a job, she only goes to college. She doesn’t do much housework. She doesn’t clean up after dinner. Aaron basically does it all. He’s an EMT and a volunteer firefighter. He can’t risk taking her jeep because if she calls and reports it, he could get arrested and he cannot risk a criminal record because of his position. Actually, he’s considering a career as a police officer like me.

His wife claims she cannot do the housework or clean because of her bad back….but yet she has the strength to pick up and hold the baby and take him out with her and put him in the car seat, etc., etc. Her bad back is just an excuse.

He wants to get a divorce but he cannot right now.

Also…..his wife’s parents do drugs. He has given her family so much money and they never paid him back. I told him….he should go to the police and file a report that her parents do drugs. And then a judge can sign a warrant. I told him the whole point of this is to make her side of the family miserable, since that is what they are doing to him. And later on in time when he files for separation, I don’t think the judge will allow her parents to be associated with their baby since they are around drugs.

Do you have any suggestions I can give him? his wife makes him so miserable. See… I am the kind of guy who is always on a short fuse……… I couldn’t take this crap that she’s giving him. I would be furious if I was him. My friend is more hurt than anything.

Anyways……while I was talking to Aaron earlier, I told him “something tells me that you are not going to take her off your insurance”………….and then I kept going on and saying “you probably wont’ do anything I tell u anyways…you are probably just gonna let it go”……..then he told me “you don’t think I’m gonna do anything?”…. I said “yes”…….and then he hung up. He claims I got no faith in him.

What do I do? What can I do to help me? what can I suggest to him?
“What can I do to help me” — i meant to say “what can I do to help him”

He’s only been married for 2 years.

started drinking and doing drugs at the age of 13. Pot, LSD, Cocaine, Ecstasy, etc. I was never severly addicted and was pretty much a weekend user, however I used hard when I used. This went on until I was 23 and overdosed on X and Alcohol. I would have probably died if my girlfriend at the time had not found me. I gave everything up after that for almost 5 years, even alcohol. The initial withdrawals to my brain were horrible. I went on an anti-depressant, which helped a great deal and I built a life for myself. It should be noted that my depression was related to the death of my mother when I was 18 and my only brother when I was 21.I met my ex-wife when I was 28 and began drinking occasionally, but never really getting drunk.She did some horrible things to me which ended in a divorce and me binge drinking from time to time and some occassional cocaine use. Clearly I know the cocaine use is unnacceptable,but I don’t know if I am an alcoholic.Sometimes I drink way too much,but it is not everytime I drink.For example,yesterday I had one beer and had no desire to have another.I go to meetings and it seems that the people talk about craving to drink.I don’t crave to drink,I just tend to be more unhappy and make worse decisions when I’m drinking.I need guidance because clearly i would have never overdosed unless I had a serious problem correct?
Thanks for the contributions. I do truly believe I have a substance abuse issue or it would not have caused so much trouble in my life. I have been going to meeting, in fact I went to one tonight. I’m just apprehensive to speak because my tales seem so minimal compared to other’s. I never sold my body or stole from my parents. I was and am a master manipulator. Thanks again! Keep the answers flowing please!

Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Black Cat,” is presented as a first-person narrative using an unreliable narrator. The darker side of human nature is clearly involved in “The Black Cat” as it involves sadistic actions and even murder. The narrator writes that he has been fond of animals, but yet later on he hurts his cat Pluto. Poe’s gothic tale The Black Cat was written trying to achieve an effect of shocking insanity. In this first person narrative the narrator tells of his decline from sanity to madness, all because of an obsession with two (or possibly one) black cats. These ebony creatures finally drive him to take the life his wife, whose death he unsuccessfully tries to conceal. This short story easily achieved the effect that Poe was looking for through the use of description of setting, symbolism, plot development, diverse word choice, and detailed character development.

The narrator tells us that from an early age he has loved animals. He and his wife have many pets, including a large black cat named Pluto. This cat is especially fond of the narrator and vice versa. Their mutual friendship lasts for several years, until the narrator becomes an alcoholic. A decent, animal-loving man takes to drink and suffers a change for the worse. One night, after coming home intoxicated, he believes the cat is avoiding him. When he tries to seize it, the panicked cat bites the narrator, and in a fit of rage, he seizes the animal, pulls a pen-knife from his pocket, and deliberately gouges out the cat’s eye. From that moment onward, the cat flees in terror at his master’s approach. At first, the narrator is remorseful and regrets his cruelty. “But this feeling soon gave place to irritation. And then came, as if to my final overthrow, the spirit of PERVERSENESS.” He takes the cat out in the garden one morning and hangs it from a tree, where it dies. That very night, his house mysteriously catches fire, forcing the narrator, his wife and their servant to flee.

The next day, the narrator returns to the ruins of his home to find, imprinted on the single wall that survived the fire, the figure of a gigantic cat, hanging by its neck from a rope. At first, this image terrifies the narrator, but gradually he determines a logical explanation for it, that someone outside had thrown the dead cat into the bedroom to wake him up during the fire, and begins to miss Pluto. Some time later, he finds a similar cat in a tavern. It is the same size and color as the original and is even missing an eye. The only difference is a large white patch on the animal’s chest. The narrator takes it home, but soon begins to loathe, even fear the creature. After a time, the white patch of fur begins to take shape and, to the narrator, forms the shape of the gallows.

Then, one day when the narrator and his wife are visiting the cellar in their new home, the cat gets under its master’s feet and nearly trips him down the stairs. In a fury, the man grabs an axe and tries to kill the cat but is stopped by his wife. Enraged, he kills her with the axe instead. To conceal her body he removes bricks from a protrusion in the wall, places her body there, and repairs the hole. When the police came to investigate, they find nothing and the narrator goes free. The cat, which he intended to kill as well, has gone missing. On the last day of the investigation, the narrator accompanies the police into the cellar. There, completely confident in his own safety, the narrator comments on the sturdiness of the building and raps upon the wall he had built around his wife’s body. A wailing sound fills the room. The alarmed police tear down the wall and find the wife’s corpse, and on her head, to the horror of the narrator, is the screeching black cat. As the narrator words it: “I had walled the monster up within the tomb!”

‘The Black Cat’ is a tale that leaves the reader somewhat perplexed. Edgar Allan Poe wrote that the single effect was the most important aspect of a short story, which everything must contribute to this effect. In most cases, the setting is usually irrelevant to a story, but The Black Cat relies on this element. This tale could have occurred anywhere and can be placed in any era. This makes the setting the weakest element of The Black Cat. Next, symbolism is always an integral part of any Poe story. The most obvious of symbolic references in this story is the cat’s name, Pluto. This is the Roman god of the underworld. Pluto contributes to a strong sense of hell and may even symbolize the devil himself. Another immensely symbolic part of The Black Cat is the title itself, since black cats have bad luck and misfortune. The most amazing thing about the symbolism in this story or in any other of Poe’s is that there are probably many symbols that only Poe himself ever knew were in his writings.

OKAY I GOT A 60 ON THIS AND NEXT TO PARAGRAPH 2 , 3 AND 4 THE TEACHER WROTE WHAT ELEMENT IS THIS CALLED SO CAN SOMEONE FIX IT PLE
im enrolled in ashworth high school college prep, and i need help i need to pass so can someone tell me what elements are those…? please 10 points

Can someone please make this video for NORML I think it would be pretty persuasive.

Starts off with title saying Weed VS Alcohol

A – It shows a husband coming home drunk and beating the wife for not having food ready and the kids looking on in horror.
W – It shows a husband coming home high with a bag of take-out food for the whole family and the children hug the dad for bringing home food.

A- It shows a drunk man being insulted and beating the shit out of the offender
W- It shows a stoner man being insulted and the stoner responding by saying “chill out dude”

A- It shows a man binge drinking and the friends having to take him to the ER for over doing it
W- It show a man taking a monster rip and showing the men just chilling watching TV afterwards.

A- It shows a alcoholic being told by the doctor he needs a new liver
W- It shows a man being prescribed medical marijuana by his doctor.

Please add to the idea or recommend changes. I think it would be persuasive if this was made into a commercial.

In Sol on August 4, 2007:

A report by Felicia Cabrita with Margarida Davim
translation

Looking for Maddie’s body

The investigations have returned to their initial course. Portuguese and British police search for the body of the child in the surroundings of Praia da Luz. “There are strong signs” that Madeleine, the English child that disappeared from Praia da Luz almost one hundred days ago, “is dead”, police sources have told Sol. The 180º turnaround that the investigation by the Policia Judiciaria (PJ) from Portimao seems to have done in the past few days, even led the Attorney General, Pinto Monteiro, to postpone the making of an interview that had been requested by British media chain BBC – an interview that would be focusing on the fact that, so long after Maddie’s disappearance, the authorities still remain without real clues concerning her whereabouts. Although an official source from the PGR justified the postponing of the interview with “agenda issues”, the moves by the PJ and some elements from the British police during these last days – accompanied by two dogs, in Praia da Luz – seem to indicate that the investigation is now centred on the McCann family and their group of friends. Sol could find out that the English dogs are trained for different tasks. One, to detect human remains originating from dead flesh, and the other one to detect human blood or fluids. A specialist that was contacted by Sol explains that the technique of these animals rests on scientific bases, and that while “one of the dogs can distinguish between natural death or death by accident that does not involve bloodshed, the other one can diagnose whether someone died a violent death, with bloodshed or other spilled fluids”.

Tuesday night, a black and white cocker spaniel that is trained to detect death, spent several hours in the apartment that the McCann family occupied in the Ocean Club resort, and from where Maddie disappeared on May 3. According to sources within the investigation, the dog marked the death of the child inside the apartment.

On the dogs’ trail

The English dogs do not contradict the clues that were detected by the sniffer dog that GNR sent to the location, on the day following the English girl’s disappearance. It’s an animal that only follows odours, and that “detected the movement of the child from the room to another point inside the apartment”, according to a source with the Guarda. The same source said that “based on that signal, it was not possible to conclude whether the child was alive or dead – because a sniffer dog will smell both the living and the dead”.

Yet, outside the house, both through the windows that faced the Tapas restaurant – where the McCanns had dinner with their seven friends – and through the main door, “the dog lost the trail, as if the child had exited, for example, rolled up in a blanket”, that source said. A team from Sol, on the terrain for the last two weeks, could observe the work of the cocker spaniel from the British police, performing several diligences along the water in Praia da Luz and in a nearby valley.

The animal’s path, on Wednesday night, seemed to test the deposition from several witnesses that were heard by the PJ in late May – namely an Irish family that have been living in Luz, and who, on the day that Maddie vanished, reportedly crossed ways with a man that carried a child that seemed to be asleep. According to their deposition to PJ, Martin Smith, his wife and his children, after leaving the Kelly bar, which is located approximately 400 metres from the Ocean Club, around 9.50 / 10.00 p.m., saw an individual described as Caucasian, measuring 1.70 – 1.75 m, walking towards the beach. The Irish man told Sol that he knew Robert Murat (the only arguido in the process) visually for years – and also remembered seeing the Anglo Portuguese man in a bar that evening, “already a bit intoxicated”. Therefore, the Irish dismissed the possibility that the person he saw carrying a child could be Murat: “If it was him, I guarantee to you that I would have recognized him”.

Concerning the clothes the man he saw on that night was wearing, Smith only refers the “beige trousers”, given the fact that his upper body was hidden by the child’s body, which was not covered. It is curious that one of the elements that formed the group of Maddie’s parents’ friends, guaranteed to PJ several days before Smith was heard, that – at a moment when she left the table to check on the group’s children – she had crossed ways with a man that was wearing trousers that fit the description that was also made by the Irish man.
That individual was also carrying a sleeping child. And the witness, who even managed to see what pyjamas the child was wearing, just “thought it was strange that the child was barefoot and uncovered”. This witness said it would be 9.15 p.m.

Direct access to the PM

According to the course the PJ from Portimao is now conducting the investigation, and considering the trail that the British police’s cocker spaniel tracked along the sea shore, the individual would have descended to Praia da Luz, where he could have disposed of Maddie’s body. Sol knows that the English team contacted Joao Alveirinho Dias, a professor at the University of Algarve and a specialist in oceanography, in order to collect information about the sea’s dynamics and the beach area where everything may have happened. The investigator, who was not briefed about the context of the police inquiries, told Sol that he was consulted on “the sand movements, where they come from and where they go to”. The police investigation has therefore, and according to our sources, returned to its initial course, and it becomes increasingly clear, as Sol had reported previously, that there is no proof against Murat.

Yet, the British media continue to point a finger at the Anglo Portuguese man, although the criminal investigation has returned to clues that relate to the group of friends of Madeleine’s parents. A journalist with the Daily Express – who has repeatedly contacted Sol searching for new information on this case – recognized this week that it is “difficult for an English newspaper to adopt a critical tone concerning Madeleine’s parents”. The Daily Express cited, in one of its last reports, the news that has been published by Sol, describing them as a “hate campaign” against the McCanns. The same journalist ended up confessing, “It’s the only way we can transmit your data”.

Sol knows that Gerry McCann has regular contact with Gordon Brown, the British Prime Minister. Clarence Mitchell – who was the first spokesman for the McCanns and is now in the press cabinet at Nr. 10, Downing Street – confirms those contacts. “I know there is a communication line between Gerry and Gordon Brown. I know they talk. But I don’t know what they talk about, because those are informal conversations”, he clarified, further adding: “The Madeleine case is treated whenever there are bilateral meetings between Portugal and the United Kingdom. Gordon Brown is sensitive to the case and wants it solved quickly”.

I desperately need advice. Due to personal reasons, I was forced to move into a friend’s house in PA. Her son got out of jail and moved in, and we continually find the evidence of his and his wife’s heroin use (aka burnt spoons, empty capsules, etc). How can we get him arrested without getting arrested ourselves? He’s currently on probation in MD for the jail time (armed robbery) and supposedly has a letter from his PO saying he can be in PA. When we tell him to get out, he just breaks in anyway. We don’t know what to do. Please help us!!

for the past few days,the bulimias gotten worse. ive been bulimic for 3 yrs and at first would only eat normal than purge,now i also binge and purge,and thats almost all ive been doing for the past 5-6 days along with eating regular than purging. honostly i dont think bulimias about weight any more. more about control.i mean,mostly i dont get everything up,which makes me anxoius,and now after i eat normal im anxoius. ive tried figuring out with thoughts are mine and which thoughts are the eating disorder,but that didnt work out.my mind is so badly messed up from this. how did you cope with bulimia? does anybody have msn,and want to talk about this? also,a best friend of my her dad sexually assaulted me,and i had no idea that it was gunna happen,but that was a few months ago,befor i had turned 19. and the ****** up thing about that is,his wife KNOWS,but cant do anything about it,cuz she needs him to help her take care of the kids. my friend and her two brothers werwe in school when this had happened,i was on the computer and she had asked me if i wanted to tag along with her and go to walmart. i said no. all of my friends are saying that its not my fault,but i think it is. he says he cares for me,but he wouldnt do that if he cared,and he said he did it to “make me feel good” ugh! he only goes for my deannas(my friends name) friends who are over 18. so now ive stopped going over there all together(this was when he had found out bout the cuts,i do SI(self-injur) with sciccors.there were times i can eat normal(or could i should say) and normally i just binge until i canteat no more

This may be a bit long, but please take the time to read it, I will really appreciate all the feedback I receive.

Lets start from the beginning.
My experience in the department of relationships has been one shady ride since the beginning. Starting with drug abusive siblings, one alcoholic mother, and ending with one womanizing father whom left the family while I was at the age of eleven never to be heard from again until my eighteenth birthday.
All of these things listed above have had a great triumph over my life, and took their toll at a young age, and now I find my self in a similar situation that I have decided its probably a good idea to ask for some help.

The day I met her I knew we would be together, although only at the young and vulnerable age of 16 it felt different than anything else I had previously experienced in my life, something new, something exciting. Love.

Over the next few months to a year we immediately fell for each other, spending every waking minute with each other in between school and work. Our relationship was just as I suspected everyone else had. Simple fights, some tears, a bit of yelling, but mostly happiness.

It has been five years since this chapter of my life started to unfold, and since then I have been through situations I never once thought I would be forced to endure.
Upon lying to me about going to spend time with her sister, my love decided to go to a party, which unfortunately ended with me having to pick her up to take her home. This caused a random intoxicated student to become upset with the fact that he would no longer “get any” he decided to put a gun to my head and threaten to end the very life I am sarcastic to agree I enjoy.
This ended with my love justifying her actions and forcing me to apologize for being upset with her because she could not foresee my life being at risk.

I have a scar to prove the knife cut up my chest from a particular male that believed I no longer deserved my love, and to top that cake, it was my very own brother.

Every few months of our lives she has a tendency to become “bored” with me, or suggest that I don’t make her happy any longer, ultimately ending with her leaving me for a few days only to realize that she “made a mistake”. Saying every few months pay be bit of a stretch, but it has happened six times in the last three years.
I will admit that she is emotionally abusive in every way possible when things are not going her way in life, and it seems at different times if she is not happy, then I cannot be either. Backing this statement up begins with my love making slanderous comments about how I was the one who forced my father out of my life, and how I am everything like him.

My love makes continuous comments on how I am angry with the world, and have trouble finding happiness, and to her this is “annoying” and “obnoxious”.
As I do not understand where these claims come from, I feel I am a extremely considerate person, I care for, and love even people I have yet to meet.

I have never, and will never hurt any girl physically. I am the first to take responsibility for any and all actions and arguments regardless if it is my fault or not, simply because I can’t stand to see her upset in any fashion, whether it is just her being mad, crying, or depressed.

I can’t honestly say I have never been wrong. There have been times that I have been rude, and inconsiderate towards my love, just as you might have been to the one you care for most. Although I don’t believe the pain I have endured over the last few years is fair to me or anyone else.

I do not lie.
I do not cheat.
I very much am a depressed individual.
I am seeking help, and at your mercy.

Sincerely yours-

She wants to go out drinking with her mother , and her mother is one of those people who think 1or 2 drinks and she can still drive. Last time i had to go pick her and her coworker they both swore they only had 2 drinks and the drinks might of been drugged. Honestly it was just they had way more then 2 drinks and where uber smashed. I would drive them both my self to and from but i can’t naturally leave my daughter at the house alone or take her to a bar. Would it be better to hire a personal drive for that night or drive them up there drop them off then come back and pick them both back up?
Should i just trust them to be smart about it if there to intoxicated to not drive.

Kmart sold a rifle to William, who was a heavy drug user and was under indictment for a felony. Federal law prohibits the sale of firearms to such persons. Kmart was supposed to question potential customers about drug use or felony indictments but failed to do so. William’s brother, a heroin addict, took the rifle while using drugs and attacked his wife and a police officer. Can the police officer sue Kmart? For what and why?

My Brother Is his Own Worst Enemy

“Very often we are our own worst enemy as we foolishly build stumbling blocks on the path that leads to success and happiness” Louis Binstock wrote. A quote that hits home for millions but for one impraticular. My brother James is his own worst enemy as he runs from job opportunity. He also is attending marriage counseling while continuing an affair, and he is also on drugs while taking anti-depressants.
While it is certainly true that he is cognizant of his responsibilities. He has a wife supporting the two of them. She is a certified nursing assistant and cannot live comfortable raising him as if he was a child. He will go as far as to the point of an interview. Thirty minutes into it they would ask him to do a drug test. He would become rude, obnoxious and walk out. Theres been plenty of jobs where by “the grace of god” passed a drug test but when someone scorns him or corrects his doing he will just quit. Hes ran out of temporary job company’s from Greenville to Spartanburg. When reality does hit him and i mean hit him hard. They better build some more temporary job placements or hes gonna be up the creek without a paddle. He has stopped looking for a job. He would rather sit in front of the computer and play pogo games for badges so he can dress his miniature couch potato. He runs from job opportunity because he knows he needs to pass a drug test. He runs because hes afraid of commitment in the work field. He also runs because he’s afraid of missing his computer.
Additionally, One year ago James and his wife Amber starting going to marriage counseling. They have been having a lot of hard times. One year ago James met someone. He has continued the relationship throughout the sessions they’ve had in counseling. Isn’t a cheating husband an oxymoron? Isn’t an oxymoron to be trying to fix your marriage and still continuing an affair? Amber knew of the affair and forgave him. While one affair ended another one was brewing. Even though he was not physically holding another woman. He was holding onto the keyboard. He’s having an affair with the computer these days. They are currently going back to marriage counseling.
On top of no job and cheating, James is a drug addict. A drug addict taking anti-depressants. He is only depressed when he doesn’t have cocaine or pot in his system. He’s an avid pot smoker and is committed to the number 420. His psychiatrist prescribed him anti-depressants to help him with the detox of drugs. Come on now you cant give a drug addict prescribed medication. He’s only detoxing because he cant afford it majority of the time . He will go as often as possible to give plasma to buy a ten dollar dime bag. They give like twenty dollars but he needs the other ten for the munchies he occurs after.
Finally, James was brought up right. He knew right from wrong. In the end we all make bad choices at one point of time in our lives. In reality we are or own worst enemy. As we get older, precious time on this earth gets shorter. We must learn from our mistakes and move forward.

Ok let me point ths OUT ..I never said this was a true story i made majority of it up i just need to make sure i dont have any fragments
aw thanks legend your a paper saver Now thats what i was talking about

In late 2006, I had my car breakdown, and the father of one of my friends said that he would pay for it. He told me I just needed to do some lawn work for his wife. A couple months later, after I had been doing lawn work for awhile, I had a girlfriend who lived in Virginia who had become pregnant. So I left my home here to go care for her. In the time that I was gone him and his wife divorced. Then when I came back I was told by her daughter that she was irritated I left so soon, but eventually that passed. I had even been over to the house numerous times and she never said anything about wanting me to do more lawn work or giving her any money. Now that her daughter is trying to jump out of a lease with us, because her mother got hooked onto heroin and other drugs, blew all of her money, then tried to kill herself; and we are no longer friends, her mother is trying to say that I owe her $450. There was never any mention that I would pay any money back for his assistance, and if there was I would have refused it.

In addition, the other night, after she was yelling at my pregnant wife, she brought it up and I told her I would pay it back, just to get her to leave us alone because she was upsetting my wife so much that she was having early contractions and shes only 7 months pregnant. I don’t think that matters at all, but my wife was worried.
Here’s the thing, I make $700 a month and am going to have to find a new home, while I have no money for a security deposit or rent. I was never asked to pay the money back until now, and HE paid for the parts, not HER and they’re DIVORCED now. She has had plenty of time to ask me to do more yard work or pay, seeing as I’ve been back in Florida for 9 months now and over to her house numerous times, including living with her daughter for the past 3 months. If I would have known they would be wanting the money back, I never would have accepted the help. I believe it’s not fair to tell me I dont have to pay, it’s all right, then later, demand the money. When it’s none of her business.

So with the pain management doctor got all the way up to snorting 10 80′s a day and then finally one day he said, “I think you are abusing these and flat out cut me off” Talk about death. I am a 36 year old with a good accounting job with no prior history of pain med addiction. Learn to snort from internet. So after a day or two of hell, I went to the Methadone clinic. Got put on 35 up to 70 for 8 months. Ended up losing my job because I was late so many times. Now 9 moths later couldn’t afford to pay and got admin detox. 3 weeks from 70 to 0. Now I’m 9 days into detox and I’m feeling worse everyday. No sleep for 9 days and that’s why I took the perk 5′s and Vicoden to try to get one moments rest. House now in foreclosue and wife and child left thinking I’m a drug addict. All from one accident and what I think was some irresponsible medical treatment.
Any advice please. As I am losing my mind and am freezing, sleepless, and completely depressed. Cry often

My wife is working on overcoming a sleeping pill addiction need advise. I told her that I wonted a divorce that I could no longer live with the lye and deception. She told me she would do anything to keep me. I told her I wonted her to go to a 30day rehab program she agreed. We set up a meeting with her therapist for later that day. The therapist did not think that she would qualify because she was not currently using and that her problem was not to that level. I said the I would like her to do an out patient program and make some big life changes and relay work on this addiction problem. She said she should start going to 12 steps AA meeting. So my wife stated this she has been going for two weeks 3 meeting a week I wonted her to do 90-90 but after the next therapy session with her therapist she said that in our rural are it is nearly imposable to go to that many meeting that 3 meeting a week would problem b
During this time she has been going to the same concaler, I have had regular conversation with this therapist about what has been going on. In December when she was abusing the pain killer I wonted to send her to a 30 day rehab program but she did not agree for 2 reasons because all the pills were gone, and because she didn’t feel that it was that big of a problem “just a little slip up”. In the process of this recovery my wife has made me a list of thing she would do to improve our life and get it back on track on of witch would be to finish her resume and apply for a few jobs (She is currently work as a privet preschool teacher but with no benefits so I would like her to get a public school job). Well she fished her resume and cover letter and sent it to my sister in-law to correct and it was all stolen off the net. This was the last straw for me I confronted her about it and she showed her who she had copied it from on the internet she still denned that she had copied it.

My wife is working on overcoming a sleeping pill addiction need advise. I told her that I wonted a divorce that I could no longer live with the lye and deception. She told me she would do anything to keep me. I told her I wonted her to go to a 30day rehab program she agreed. We set up a meeting with her therapist for later that day. The therapist did not think that she would qualify because she was not currently using and that her problem was not to that level. I said the I would like her to do an out patient program and make some big life changes and relay work on this addiction problem. She said she should start going to 12 steps AA meeting. So my wife stated this she has been going for two weeks 3 meeting a week I wonted her to do 90-90 but after the next therapy session with her therapist she said that in our rural are it is nearly imposable to go to that many meeting that 3 meeting a week would problem be enough. She also thinks that I am trying to hard that I just need to back of my wife and let her do what she feels she needs to do. I wont this to be the most important thing she has ever done I don’t feel that we can get on with our life until this is delt with. I don’t wont to be with her if I cant trust. I feel that is the bases for a successful marriage. Her therapist thinks I am way off the mark and she has been telling my wife that I am to involve in the process and need to back off. I think that the therapist treatment isn’t the most beneficial for the process (she is using unconditional positive regard) due to the relapse that my wife has had. How do I deal with? Is it OK to question what she is doing? I don’t feel that my wife is giving it her all. How do I find the balance of pushing to get results and giving up and walking away? Have you ever been hear? What are your experiences? I am frustrated, confused and tired any advice would be nice

When you went into recovery did you fall out of love with your husband ? If so did you find that love him after ?
We had been married for 5 yrs before she started to drink and that was to be SOCIAL HA HA yah rite

I am very unhappy w/ my atty & the way he represented me. To sum up my case: My fiance was attacked by 2 drunk random females, I tried to break things up in her defense & was attaked by a male from behind. We were wrestling on the floor when police showed up. One cop spurred me from behind and hit his forehead on the back of my head and he got a cut. I was arrested for disorderly conduct and told I would get out in a couple of hrs but later I was added on the charge of assulting a peace officer.
I really was just defending my soon2be wife & in no way was in the wrong. Im a bookeeper and have never been in a fight in my life. I have a clear record & I was sure I had a good case. But my atty’s attitude towards my case was the total opposite. At 1st he said he could help me, charged me 1500. retainer + add’l fees for any further work. But once I paid the retainer, he didnt even try. There was no other witnesses other than my fiance and I, so I told him to put me on the stand and i’ll testify cuz we were the victims. But he kept saying the facts were against me & I should just plea guilty and avoid a jury cuz I could be locked up for 2-10yrs.. I insisted I was innocent, but he never fought for me, just kept urging me to take a plea bargain so we didnt have to go to trial. I even drafted up about 11 diff points I came up w/ that he could use to defend us.. and im not even the atty. Thats what i was paying him for!!!
Anyway, I knew he wasnt goin to help me so by Gods grace, it turns out my mother knew a friend of the D.A & I ended up getting 6 mo. probation w/ deffered adjudication. He thinks it was his negotiations that got me that deal though.
So I finally got a final bill and he charged me additional 2,500.00 in extra fees on top of the retainer. He charged me 100.00 for EVERY motion (ex. motion for discovery, motion for probation, motion for a witness list.. ) He also charged me for “research on file for discovery”, “research on motion for probation” etc. Shouldnt he already know his stuff? This is his job, why am I paying him to learn? He also filed sepinas against 3 police officers The bill said his assistant took 1 hour to draft up each sepina @ 100/per hr. So I have to pay 300 bux for 3 sepinas .(which btw, never got served because supposebly the 3 cops were all on vacation and couldnt be found).. Now im not stupid, all the 3 sepinas are exactly the same , the only thing that changes is the names of the officers. So I understand it took 1 hr. to draft the 1st sepina, but the other 2 didnt take an hr. each.
Lastly, he also charged me for every call he made to me. Even when he left me a message, I am being billed for that also. I think this is outrageous. Now Ive never been in trouble or dealt w/ lawyers, so maybe this is normal, but I think its crazy how he is charging me. Shouldnt a criminal case be a flat rate.. just a certain price up front? I know my co-worker had got arrested for DWI & possesion of cocaine charges and he was charged a flat rate of 2800.00 for both. I only had one and im being charged 4,000.
Is there anything i can do, or is this legit? Im bearly making it & only agreed to go w/ him thinking 1500.00 was the bulk of the amt, and i’d only have to pay a little more in add’l fees…. Not another 2500.00. What can I do if i cant come up w/ this money? Can I go to jail? I really need some sorta advice on what my options are. Please help..

I don’t like either candidate so no whining about the bias in this question.

AJ, I have not seen this question asked on here, if it has, missed it, as for the question, look at the BIG BOLD letters at the top.
Prof. b, you are on the right track, but the last statement is true, knowing that how would you answer this question? Seems everyone else would like to take this question and turn it around on me, but no one has even come close to the essence of this question. Oh and R.M, I haven’t lived in Selma for 8 years. My trolling days are now far East of there.

My wife has a male, homosexual friend. Last year he came upon hard times. He was trying to defeat severe alcoholism, lost his job, his car and his home and because suicidal. My wife asked me if it would be ok for us to allow him to live with us until he could get his life back together. I agreed to this (thinking it would only be a few months). This homosexual man lived with us for over 1 year and has recently moved out. He now has a good job and a good home and is doing well. I really came to like the man and now consider him a good friend. I was a little sorry to see him move out but glad he has a new beginning of his own. The man was very respectful and was a great house guest. He never had any “boyfriends” over the house nor did he ever discuss what he did the few times he went out. He didn’t make a public display of his homosexuality and I made sure not to voice my negative opinions about homosexuality to him. I had no problem associating with him and always made sure to not be insensitive towards him in any way. I will never be a supporter of the homosexual lifestyle but I am a supporter of goodwill and kindness to all. Any comments?
