About 2 months ago, I finally decided to be open with my mother about seeing an old but very loyal and wonderful boyfriend (known eachother and our families for 16 years! since highschool) he and I parted ways for about 7 but came back together naturally. He has been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and has opted for holistic treatment. He left his family, friends and life in Cali to be with and I quote “the woman that I love, my best friend, and I just want to be happy for as long as I can”. At the same time I also FINALLY found my biological father, grandparents and extended family in Louisiana and another 1/2 brother. I should also note that both of my parents sent me to live with diff relatives off and on since I was 7 till I was about 16 years old because they were financially and lifewise irresponsible and I suffered (but never sent the other kids away). I am a people pleaser, a straight A student (now 30), a great home, EXCELLENT job, respect of coworkers and am a real sweetheart and have let my family use me for hundreds of thousands of dollars, in groceries, cell phones, bank accounts, bank loans, credit cards, gas money and everything else… So I guess what I want to know is after being open and honest letting her know exactly that my bf is living with me and I found my other family, she said ” I have no response, good luck”. and of late said ” Do you still have people living with you?” She has always controlled me and now she can’t, but I am remaining the bigger person (have not cut her off, keep her in the loop). Why is she punishing me and being so rude? and why do I feel guilty about trying to pry myself out of her control and truly be happy?
Been depressed for 10 years until my other fam and bf came into the picture now am happy and hopeful…

I have been a vegetarian since 1998 and in that time have only slightly gained weight in the ‘pouch’ area. My husband is a meat eater and beer drinker and I have been trying to persuade him to go vegetarian to lose some of the weight around his mid area – i.e. love handles, etc. He gets offended when I bring this up and thinks that I have stopped loving him. I told him I care about him and that I don’t want to see him end up in the hospital down the road. His dad was on the heavy side and contracted diabetes which eventually led to pancreatic cancer and his passing. Needless to say, I would not want this to happen. He works out regularly but this has had no effect on the mid area. He does eat vegetarian every now and then. I told him to go veg as his New Year’s resolution. He is sort of considering that. How can I get him to listen to me without offending him?

I lost my sister in April to Pancreatic Cancer. I was there when she took her last breath. Some days are better then others, but today seems to be one of those days where I miss her very much. I am here at work, but just can’t seem to focus. I know that I will never get over this, I have never seen anyone take their last breath before and do not want this to be the image in my mind, but again, today seems to be one of those days.
Any words of wisdom on how to survive those bad days. ?????
Thanks to everyone!

I told her I’m struggling with a lot in my life. I’m 25 with a college degree, & she told me that if I don’t see her tomorrow, then she’ll have me mentally hospitalized. I’m not a danger, & I want her off my back. She does me more harm than good. My dad is slowly dying. Is that NOT a reason to feel sad & depressed? I’m not suicidal or homicidal.
I’m not court ordered to see a case manager or a psychiatrist, but I have to see her & all she does is tell me hurtful things & mentally abuse me harshly. @ the mental health clinic, all patients have to see a case manager. But I thought I had a right to refuse services from them. @ 1st, she was threatening to close my mental health case, & now she’s threatening to have me mentally hospitalized, talking about she’s concerned about me being depressed & living alone. Now, she has me more angry, sad, nervous, & depressed.
She’s treating me like I’m retarded & don’t know any better. How can I get her out of my life? & all mental health so-called professionals? She’s trying to stop me from pursuing my career as a translator, & she think me trying to pay off my student loan debt should be the least of my worries. I’ve had my degree for 3 yrs., & I’m still struggling to find a job. I’m just in hard times right now, & she’s making it worse. How can I tell her I’d rather see a private psychiatrist, & that I don’t want to go to that clinic anymore?
My dad is REALLY sick. He has pancreatic cancer & could die any day now.
