Bully for you to stand up for your family and benefits in general! (I totally agree with you, btw) It sounds to me you did not behave at all like the wimp you feared you were the other day. Hope that's made you feel a bit good about yourself.
Have a brilliant time In Stratford. Look forward to seeing the photos - and your review of more…
as for the benefits thing, GOOD FOR YOU! I would too, no you can't judge someone AT all, people like to pigeon hole others and that's really wrong in my opinion.

The more I read it, the more it impresses me. I don’t know how I ever worked without hilarious and funny things in our life, Life would be so much easier especially when there's a jokes here and there. Being funny is nice because a lot of serious people are lacking with this kind of behavior that is why they are much look older. I would like to tha more…
It sounds to me as if by far the freakiest thing is looking after John with only a little help from your grandmum. It's a pity that doesn't happen before Stratford, so you could look forward to that as a sort of reward.
Btw, how far is your house from the station? Do hope your gran can drive you.
You are not being stupid by owning up to your feelings! Feelings are never 'wrong', although sometimes they hide other feelings even more umcomfortable...
Personally. I can understand your feelings of insecurity in the present situation, particularly as you have been so supportive of your mum for so long.
I've seen the Truman Show and Truly Madly Deeply - I want to see Up but I don't think I'll ever watch Camp Rock :)
Sometimes I feel a bit like I'm living in a Truman Show type world - because I live on a beautiful island and never go off it any more because I love my small cosy little life here so much now and it does feel as though it more…
It wasn't an unhappy childhood. There were unhappy times, but there were plenty of good ones too.
I don't really know. I just don't want someone to come in and change everything, mostly. I'm just kind of scared of being pushed out. But then I know that wouldn't really happen. I'm just being stupid :roll:. Once I get used to it I know I more…
Tell me to mind my own business, but maybe the sight of your mum with this guy and his children brings back painful memories of your unhappy childhood. x more…
When people try to make everyone around them constantly happy it has the exact opposite effect.
People are designed to thrive on a certain level of worry. Without it life becomes unreal and then people start worrying about made up things to fill the gap.
You can't prevent your Mum from having difficulties and neither can more…
always worrying having someone new into a situation, you really don't know what they are like, how they are going to behave, are they going to upset your mum.
I'm close with my mum, I consider her my best friend to be honest. I tell her most things and do get hurt when she pulls rank on me as she more…
It is natural for you to feel threatened if your mother starts a new relationship. You are very close to her, and there is nothing to beat yourself up about if you tell her your feelings - although, sometimes, in my armchair many miles away - I feel it would be better for you to be no quite so close.
I do think that 'emo' girl is just attention seeking, she's probably so unsure of herself OR has seen how others treat the 'emo' types and has decided that's the best way to act.
Hey maybe she has a problem but geninue ones, just do they certainly don't want to draw attention to themselves strangely... not the ones I have known in the more…
She does. Part of me is waiting for school to get involved really.
I mean, she does have friends but they're all the same as her. I saw one of them the other day and she blew cigarette smoke in my face. They've not the kind of people you can just talk to. more…
I agree with banana. The girl clearly has big issues. Her need for attention is so large that she will damage herself to get it. The worrying thought is what she would do if she stopped getting the attention. I think she needs help.
I think a need to attract the sort of attention this girl is getting is a problem in itself. She must have very low self esteem if she feels she needs to harm herself in order to make herself interesting to others. Also needing that amount of attention is a very bad sign as well.
I think she has BIG problems - I'd steer well clear of more…

I think the very best way to deal with your feelings re: friend and kids is to keep training yourself to cope.
You will get used to them in time if they stay in your life, if they don't then no need to make a big thing about it.
I even hazard a guess that if they stay around you might actually get to like them.
