I am writing an paragraph on the relationships between me and my family, is this any good?

  • Posted on December 28, 2010 at 9:22 am

here it is.

My Father is a man I greatly respect, and whom I love to death.I know he thinks the world of me as his only daughter. My dad struggles with a disease of the eye, which causes him to have “looking through a straw” vision, he gets angry, but he is always trying to improve on his way of handling the situation.
My mother is one of a kind, as a nurse, she always knows how to handle a situation without over reacting. Her rules are questionable, I obey and realize that they are for the best. My mother would bend over backwards to please me, and i must say our relationship is certainley a open amd healthy realationship. I know she keeps things from me, things I ought to know, I am frusturated when the rest of my family is keeping things from me, they kept my Aunts alchoholism from me, but know that she is dead I realize that it was best for me not to know about our family’s burden.
My brother is someone I think the world of, but he is also one of the main secrets they keep from me. He is merely 3 years old then me, a sophmore in high school, captin baskettball player, pretty girlfriends, he has it all you can say, but on 3 seperate ocassions, he has come home, extremley intoxicated. It hurts me to watch him vomit, and be on house arrest by my parents for a month, but I know he deserves it and I think he does too. As children we were the best of friends, but when he got older, he began to drift way from me, from his child hood. But despite this, he always has time for me, playing stupid games with me when he is bored, or driving me to school when I miss my bus, besides the chllenges he is now facing in his adolescent years he will always be my big brother.

how is that? it’s a little more thanmy english teacher asked for but i love writing. I also feel safe telling her about my brothers drinking, she used to teach my brother and understands my situation with him, this paper will also be completley confidential

I wanted to ask a question about relationships?

  • Posted on October 25, 2010 at 5:23 am

I was with a man for 8 years, we have a 9 year old daughter. We been separated for 5 years and have not been intimate 2 years. He calls me on occasssions to see if I would sleep with him. I say no because he has a girlfriend now. I called him recently and opposed the same question to him and he was all game while he was intoxicated. I asked him the next day while he was sober and he said it would not be right because he has someone. I want to know am I making him feel good by asking him for sex? I asked him was he in love with his current girlfriend and he said yes, so I asked him why does he keep calling me if he is so in love with his girlfriend but he would not answer my question. Other people tell me he is always talking about me and everytime he runs into one of my co workers we wants to know if they know me and then he tells them we have a daughter together. Is it me or do you think he wants me to hold on to him. I’m not in love with anymore, I just wanted to make love so I called and asked him since he is always calling me.

Is my relationship with my daughter affecting my personal relationships?

  • Posted on August 16, 2010 at 1:24 pm

I have a very close relationship with my 5 year old she is my life, pretty much the only reason why i wake up every morning just to see her little face, like everything i do is for her,I feel like theres women out there and they come and go but my baby girl is always going to be there, its like she’s the only girl i adore,especially with all the crap i took from her mother and still am taking, even if i meet a girl and I’m with her I’m reluctant to introduce them too my baby girl because I want her too have stability in her life not just someone who’s there one minute and is gone the next, especially now that i have full custody of her because her mother is going to be in jail for 140 days and I’m the only parent she has right now..like the only thing she knows right now is mommy’s sick and can’t be with her, when she’s really in jail for getting caught with cocaine and driving while intoxicated, like i can see myself either back together with her mother or alone & its been like that for almost 7 years, but its like she’s the only lady i need in my life right now?

Connecting and Building Relationships with Parents for Better Outcomes in the Children You Work With

  • Posted on January 25, 2010 at 9:20 pm

It’s well known that when professionals who work with children build strong relationships with parents, better outcomes are often the result. But how do you go about connecting with parents to forge meaningful, long-lasting partnerships? It’s not always obvious or intuitive, even to the best or most experienced professionals.

I’ve been on both sides – both professional and parent. In my days as a high school teacher, invariably my students improved in all kinds of ways when I took the initiative to reach out to their parents. Now, as a mother of a child with special needs, I see the wisdom, and the results, of professionals and practitioners who consider their relationship with parents to be just as important as their relationship with the children who are their patients, students, group members, etc.

Part of what I do is help professionals who work with children to refine and enhance their parent-professional relationship building skills. Here are some tips and strategies you may find helpful:

1.  Great communication is key.
How and when can parents reach you if they have questions? Interestingly, the more available you make yourself for questions and discussion, the more comfortable and confident parents will feel about you and your services.

2.  Offer ways for parents to help out.
Parents are often very grateful to you for the work you’re doing with their sons and daughters. If there are some simple ways they can be of help in your organization, practice, or agency, invite them to become involved.

3.  Invite parents into the classroom.
If you work in a classroom setting, make parents feel welcome to visit. This may be an open invitation, or a list of dates and times parents can choose from. Parents love to visit and see their children in action!

4.  Invite parents into therapy sessions whenever possible.
What they learn from observing you will make it easier for them to follow through at home.

5.  Be open to parent research and ideas.
Parents of children with special needs and special health care needs often do their own research and talk with other parents. They may bring you a copy of a study they found interesting, or they may ask whether a certain type of therapy, treatment, or classroom intervention might be appropriate for their child.

6.  Give parents copies of relevant articles, and recommend books you think they should read.
Even if they don’t read these right away, parents appreciate not only the information you’re giving them, but also the fact that you value their intellectual side.

7.  Don’t be afraid to say “I don’t know.”
As a professional, parents often see you as the expert. Constantly trying to live up to that expectation can be stressful and draining! If a parent asks a question and you aren’t sure of the answer, it’s okay to say you’ll look into it or do some research and then get back to them. Parents will appreciate your thoroughness.

8.  Acknowledge parents’ fears, worries, and hesitations.
Parents of children with special needs often have been through a lot with their children, and may be reluctant to try things that are new or different. Transitions are often difficult as well. You can help them along their learning curve by validating their feelings.

9.  Speak and write about the good stuff, too.
In your conversations with parents, and in your progress notes, always mention the positives. Tell of the child’s strengths, of some nice moments … find SOMETHING positive to say, even if on some days it’s a stretch! Parents of children with special needs are so used to hearing about what’s wrong with their child – they’ll be grateful for your insights into their child’s good points, too!

10.  Be a resource.
Especially for parents who have just received their child’s diagnosis, if you can recommend some local resources for them – such as a support group, organization, or agency, you will be doing those parents a HUGE favor. Often, these parents are too overwhelmed to find these resources on their own.

11.  Ask parents whether they’ve run into any obstacles to implementing your recommendations at home.
If they have, brainstorm with them some possible solutions. Based on your own past experience, as well as experiences of other families you’ve worked with, you may often know of some simple solutions that might not occur to parents. And any time you can help parents find ways to follow through on your recommendations, the result is more successful outcomes for the children you work with.

Win Back A Love Of A Lifetime

  • Posted on July 2, 2009 at 10:40 pm

Rekindling a romantic relationship from the past is quite acceptable. Remember those special moments you spent together that you wished would last, sadly all good things come to and end. You kept thinking what would have happened if the two of you were still together. But maybe they still might have feelings for you and want to take another chance with you as well.

It sounds like a plot from tragic love stories of long ago. Two star-crossed lovers who met at some point in time and sadly did not end up together simply because things did not work out right for them. They are only left with sweet memories of the good old days which they find hard to forget. Yearning to be together again and bring back the good times.

If you are at a point in time where you are alone and have failed in relationships since then, it could very well be that the one you dream of is supposed to be with you. Dont just sit around and reminisce, do something about it. If you dont know where they are now, find them. There are many things that you can do to find them. Use the resources you have available to win back a love.

Now that you found them, you might run into some issues. You need to find out if they are still available. You could send them an email saying that you were going through some stuff that brought back memories of times you had together. Ask them how they are doing and what are they up to.

Talk about your status. Don’t be too obvious about your intentions; make them think you are not that interested. Let them be if they are in a good relationship. Or they could be pretending. Nevertheless, find out what you can about them.

Build a relationship with them if they are still single. Get to know each other again and take things slow. Never rush into things.

After you have been corresponding for a little time, instead of asking for their phone number (if you don’t have it already), give them yours and say, Feel free to call anytime. Doing it this way takes the pressure off the situation. If they want to talk to you, you will know.

Before you know it, your friendship will blossom into something special and you start seeing each other often. There are tell tale signs if you still have feelings for each other. Give it a little time. If things turn out right then there is a possibility that you can get back together.

Nine Ways to Make Your Ex Hate You

  • Posted on July 2, 2009 at 10:40 pm

Are you thinking of ways to win back your ex? Take care not to make things worse, they might run for the door instead of falling back into your arms. Here are things that you can do to make them hate you more.

Call them several times a day. This will bug them like crazy and may cause them to block your number. You can always get more numbers, though. Disposable phones and using friends cell phones are easy ways to get this done.

Keep writing them and letting them know how much you miss them. Letters, Emails, and Text Messages can hit them from several directions. Leave notes on their windshield. This is a great way to get their attention (and wrath).

Awaken memories of past promises. Just because you are no longer together doesnt mean you cant hold them to it. It just probably slipped their minds. Remind them regularly that it wasn’t a bad idea to break up with you.

Follow them around; let them know you are everywhere. Watch them like a hawk. Wear a silly grin if they see you coming. That will lead them to think you have lost your mind and leave them frightened. Expect a restraining order on the way.

Bug their friends and get updates about where they plan to hang out and be there all the time. They will probably avoid you too like the plague. Give the current flame a call and tell them that your ex is still in love with and you are determined to get your ex back. Harassing them both would only strengthen their relationship and dislike you more.

Call their parents and try to be their parents best friend. You will only get the parents mad at you as well or drive a wedge between your ex and his parents. Either way, you have given your ex more reason to hate you.

Try dating their best friend. Your efforts to make them jealous may end up ruining another of their relationships. Sooner or later the best friend will realize that you are just using them and you will be alone again.

Call their workplace and ask about him or ask to talk to him. That will be a great way to get your ex back hating you, especially if it costs them their job.

You can still make your ex love you again but you need some good advice on how to do it right. Get professional help or talk to people who have good long lasting relationships with their partner. Listen to your heart if you want to get your ex back. Make sure you are careful to think things through before you act on your plans. Not everything you do can make them love you again.

I Want My Ex Back – How Can I Get Them Back

  • Posted on July 2, 2009 at 9:30 pm

You wake up one morning and you realize that you want to get back together with your ex. This is quite understandable if you still have feeling for them.

Most of the time you dont know where to start with how to get them back. You are likely to ask for someone else’s opinion and some good advice on how to successfully get them back.

Well first of all, before you go off trying to get your ex back, make sure that you’re not going through the natural grieving process that comes at the end of a relationship. At the end of most relationships there is a period when the hurt and missing is so intense that it is akin to the grieving process. During this process it is very natural to have the feeling I want my ex back!and for that feeling to be all consuming.

This is due to the fact that you are sad because everything that you dreamed of together will all your hopes went down the drain when the relationship ended. Make sure you have recovered from all of this before you try to get them back.

After you have overcome your grief about your failed relationship, be aware of the mistakes that you made during that time and find ways and means to correct it.

You have to figure out what mistakes were made and take steps to correct it. Unless you do this, you should expect the relationship to fail once again. So admit your faults that contributed to the demise of your relationship.

Remember not to put the blame on your ex if there were really responsible for the break down in your relationship. You still have plenty of time to sort things out but for now make an effort to better yourselves.

If you’re sincerely clear that I want my ex back! then all that has been outlined is really the start that you need to take to get back with your ex and to secure a future for the two of you that will not fall into the same mistakes and pitfalls of before.

Make Your Ex Girlfriend Want You Back Fast

  • Posted on July 2, 2009 at 2:21 pm

You had probably lost relationships in the past and had move on but the last one is hard to take off your mind. There’s something more you want in the relationship and of course you can’t stop feeling how lost you are without the love of your life. But the problem is, you do not know where and how to approach your ex-girlfriend. Maybe you’re afraid that she might not want you back but you’ll never know this unless you try. What you need is a little push to make your ex-girlfriend want you back.

Divulge your thoughts and feelings to a close friend, verbalizing your problem can actually help you solve it.

Make yourself presentable. Those sleepless nights might have left you looking awful. If possible, shop for new clothes and have a haircut so that when your ex-girlfriend sees you, she’ll notice how refreshed you are. And hey, it does not bring any good wooing her back looking disheveled.

When you’re finally ready, call her up and ask for a lunch or coffee date. Bring her to your favorite spots so that she’ll feel at ease talking to you again.

Do not forget to bring flowers on your date.

Then say you’re sorry of the things that you did that hurt her. Tell her that you’ve been thinking about the relationship and that you two can still make it work.

If she’s still upset, give her space and respect that she needs time to take it all in and eventually think it over. When she’s done with all that and if you’re lucky, she’ll be the one to call you.

Most girls tend to play hard to get so just be patient and devote time and effort to make things work again.

Lastly, mean what you say. You would not want to go through the same heart aches again so learn from the past and strive to make the relationship last

Whoever said maintaining a relationship is easy? It needs more than time and effort to make it work. Things around you might change but the key to a better relationship hasn’t. Communicate well with your partner and settle every issue.

Whoever said maintaining a relationship is easy? It needs more than time and effort to make it work. Things around you might change but the key to a better relationship hasn’t. In the mean time read this article How to get my Ex Girlfriend Back for more advice.

How do you define a “perfect” relationship?

  • Posted on July 2, 2009 at 7:15 am

Couples will admit that it takes conscious effort to nurture a healthy relationship. During those first exciting stages of dating, everyone is on their best behaviors. It can be hard to find fault with one another. Everything feels perfect.

Those minor character flaws may be perceived as endearing or quirky in the beginning. Six months later, they can be seen as perpetually annoying habits or unbearable irritants. Either way, nothing’s perfect and that’s what makes it “perfect”… (I know…it’s a paradox. But life itself is one big paradox – if you haven’t already noticed).

My point is this: In order to realize ‘perfection,’ you must first experience imperfection. It’s the same with saying you cannot know ‘happy’ if you’ve never known ‘sadness.’ One side of the equation cannot exist without the other. That’s the paradox of life!

So don’t get too caught up trying to define a “perfect relationship” or compare your relationship with others to get some sort of validation. No two couples are the same. What works best in your relationship may not necessarily work well for another couple.

So remember: Perfect is nothing but a word to describe what appeals to you most. We say it’s perfect when things go our way. We say it’s perfect when two people come together happily. So you see, it’s just a word associated with being content.

Simply put: If you’re in a relationship that puts you in a good state of mind, then, you are in a ‘perfect’ relationship. And if you’re still looking for that ‘perfect’ person, keep in mind they don’t need to be perfect in all that they do, just as long as they’re a perfect fit for you.
