Has anyone here ever used the anonymous suggestion option on bonusfamilies.com? What type of reaction did you get, if any? Did it help at all or make things worse? I am thinking about sending the link BM's way but I have this sinking feeling that it would just make things worse. Does anyone have any feedback on this?

i have a huge dilema........my boyfriend and i are very happy together and considering marriage except for one very big problem:

Okay, *deep breath* here goes: My husband and I have been married a little over 7 years. He and I each had a boy and a girl when we got married (my daughter was 9, and my son was 6, his son was 5 and his daughter was 3).
My children were very angry and resentful of my new husband from the start. He is a very kind, loving man, and they were angry, mean and abusive after the first year, for about 3-4 years. He did not come in and 'try to be the dad' I've required that they be respectful to him, because "he is my husband, period."
And it's been a constant battle.

hey does anyone have a good recipe on how to prepare and roast a turkey? i'm really bad at cooking, an easy recipe would be great!

I really hope that bio-mom is lurking on this site. Maybe she will see herself and think what a nut case, then take a closer look and see herself and see that she reeps what she has sown. And then takes action to improve herself.

The happy ending of course is that she can start to heal so that dh's and mine family can move on and try to raise 5 well adjusted kids and offer them an example of what is a healthy relationship.

Well we are in quite the mess we went to our lawyers last night and it was a real jaw dropper.First let me explain things my husband worked last year for a company and this year he started on his own so they are basing his child support payments on last years income which this year has been harder because he is just starting off anyways the child support they are asking for we just cant afford it and they are not taking into account that we have bills a loan and a dependent my son still living in our house so our options are we either pay this amount they are wanting and leave us with just

To make a very long drawn out (I'm sure BORING to everyone else) story short: BM sent a snotty e-mail, I snapped back, she snapped back, I said DONE! Literally, just wrote back, 'I'm done, deal with [BF] from now on, I've forwarded him the

I am having a bit of a "pity party" for myself today I guess. I just had a bit of a mental break down! After all of my strong talk about being ready to get the show on the road, now that I know when I start chemo, I am scared to death. This morning has just been so overwhelming for me I guess. I went for physical therapy today and my arms feel like noodles. I have to go back 4 more times for sure. When I got home, I got the call from my oncologist telling me I start chemo on Monday. I was supposed to return to work on Monday but looks like that won't be the case now.

I am renewing a relationship with my kids' father after his 5 year marriage,the divorce is not yet final. He has been staying with us since his seperation began. His mom absolutely loves his soon to be ex and their children. Me on the other hand she's never been to fond of during the 12 years I've known her. She treats my kids badly and has even gone as far as to lie on them, she doesn't acknowledge any of their birthdays, she doesn't buy any Christmas gifts,and she doesn't inquire about their schooling or any other aspect of their lives. She behaves as if they don't exist.
