Abusive mom. What would you do?

  • Posted on October 22, 2010 at 4:22 pm

I had an alcoholic dad (who is now sober and I turn to for everything) and an abusive mom growing up. my mom had full custody of me as my dad was in prison for a DWI. my whole life i was afraid of my mom. when i was in 5th grade i over floated the toilet with too much toilet paper and she beat me. few weeks later CPS was called and nothing happened. my sophomore year of high school my mom found out i sneaked out to the front yard since my then boyfriend brought me sonic. she beat me when she found out and even gave me a black eye. CPS was called and what happened? nothing. Senior year comes around and my mom thought i was pregnant. she made me take a pregnancy test in front of her. i was really nervous and couldn’t pee right away so she beat my head on the bathroom floor and was hitting me. when she released me i ran to the neighbors house while she tried pulling my hair to make me come back in the house. i got away ran to the neighbors house and what did they do? nothing. didn’t call the cops or let anyone know. After that my mom had sent me to leave with my dad who lived in San Antonio, Texas. My mom lived in Austin, Texas with my step dad and my half sister. She always told me how she f***ing hated me and wished she never had me. the list goes on and on with my mom. she had a very abusive mother so she treats me they way her mother treated her. yet that’s not an excuse.

now here I am married and stuck on a hard decision. my mom and i hadn’t talked in a while after the fact that she called my husband and i white trash and etc. the other day she contacted me and we began talking. she told me her and my step dad were getting a divorce and she had found someone else already. i was completely shocked because she should be focusing on her youngest daughter not men. the only reason i was talking to her is so i could see my 6 year old sister. my mom said how she wanted to spend time with my husband and i which i found odd because she was just calling us names the other week..well today her now ex husband (who is my sisters dad) asked if i could testify against my mom in court and say what kind of a mom she was to me so he can get custody.

and here i am stuck. my step dad was a great man to me. while my dad was away he was there and i always felt safe around him..his business made him travel and it would come to a point where i didn’t want him to leave because i would be alone with my mom and i was scared. my mom and step dad would always fight..he showed anger towards her but not my sister and i. it got physical with them one time and my step dad got arrested..my mom was just as guilty yet she played mrs innocent. i love my baby sister with ALL my heart and only want the best for her. the thought of me testifying makes me sick..i don’t know.

if you were in my shoes would you testify and why?

please serious answers.

A mother enters her daughter’s bedroom and sees a letter on the wall over the bed.
With the worst premonition, she reads it, with trembling hands:”It is with great regret and sorrow that I’m telling you that I eloped
with my new boyfriend. I found real passion and he is so nice, with all his piercing and tattoos and his big motorcycle. But is not only that Mom, I’m pregnant and Ahmed said that we will very happy in his trailer in the woods. He wants to have
many more children with me and that’s one of my dreams. I’ve learned that marijuana
doesn’t hurt anyone and he’ll be growing it for us and his friends, who are providing us with all the cocaine and ecstasy we may want. In the meantime, we’ll pray for the science to
find the AIDS cure, for Ahmed to get better, he deserves it. Don’t worry Mom, I’m 15 years old now
and I know how to take care of myself. Someday I’ll visit for you to know your grandchildren.
Your daughter,
Judith
PS:
Mom, it’s not true. I’m at the neighbor

Morning Sickness Cures – How to Avoid Morning Sickness during Pregnancy!

  • Posted on July 2, 2009 at 11:47 am

If you are trying to get pregnant or have become pregnant, then you probably are worried about the morning sickness that you are going to go through. There are many ways to deal with this, but the most popular is not the best. Most women just accept this as part of pregnancy, but that is wrong and you don’t have to. There are many morning sickness cures out there that can make sure you do not have to go through any sickness while you are pregnant. Here is what you need to know.

When it comes to morning sickness cures you should know that the eastern culture does not even experience morning sickness. This has nothing to do with who they are or how their bodies are compared to those of the western culture. It has much more to do with their traditions and the way they pass on the knowledge that allow them to avoid this sickness during pregnancy. They do not accept it as part of pregnancy and very rarely will a pregnant woman in their culture go through this sickness.

Another thing about morning sickness cures is that there are many that are very natural and good for you. These can actually help the baby and you have a better and more fulfilling pregnancy. You will not find these cures at your doctors office because they do not have a drug for it. Anyway, if they did have a drug you probably would not want it because most drugs can be very harmful to your body and your baby. This would not be the best way to start out your new life as a mother.

The last thing you must know about morning sickness cures is that you can find them right on the internet. There are many guides out there that will help you to avoid this type of sickness with many tips that will get you through your pregnancy as a much happier mom. Imagine going through an entire 9 month pregnancy without once having any type of sickness that makes you vomit or wakes you up in the middle of the night. That would be a dream come true for most women, especially if they have already gone through morning sickness.

“Can My Baby Sleep in My Room WIthout A Crib?”

  • Posted on July 1, 2009 at 9:05 pm

A Moses Basket is ideal for infants ranging from birth to the time they can roll over or sit independently. It can solve many problems, such as: How can my newborn sleep in the same room with me without a crib? Where will my child sleep while we travel? What if I want Baby close by while I do the dishes but I don’t want to lug the car seat in and out of the house? Do I have an organic option?

With the purchase of a Moses Basket, all these problems are resolved. While baby is still sleeping in the basket, it is the perfect portability solution. It can be situated on the floor in any room or right on the middle of the bed next to Mom as she sleeps. Since it is so light and easy to travel with, the basket makes hotel stays easier and gives baby a constant immediate surrounding and comfort, in spite of the location change. The investment is not purely for the short time span a child would need the basket to sleep in. When the baby outgrows the basket, it can be used to store small books and toys, diapers and supplies, or toiletries until the next arrival.

Moses baskets are cozy, giving baby a feeling of security, therefore allowing them to relax and be more comfortable than in a big crib. As a result, mom can be free to do the (seemingly) millions of other things there are to do, while still keeping baby close by. You can even get fold-able stands to keep the basket at an ideal height, so you aren’t bending over every time to pick baby up. Rocking stands are another option, creating an affordable way to combine a cradle’s soothing swaying motions with the benefits of a Moses Basket. When the time comes to transition the growing baby into the crib, the basket can simply be placed within the crib with the baby inside it. They grow accustomed to the location of the sleeping area while still surrounded by what they know.

There are also numerous organic options with Moses Baskets. Actually, ever since baskets have been produced, they have been with organic materials. Popular materials include wicker, palm, bamboo and maize. All are woven and of similar rigidity except maize, which is a little floppier. Comforts are still available with sheets that can be organic and soft mattress covers made from wool or organic cotton. Of course, quality bedding will be vital to ensure the longevity of the product.
