SEE MY BOYFRIEND HE LIVES IN CARLTON AND I LIVE AND DALLAS AND WE ONLY SEE EACH OTHER DURING THE WEEK…I MEAN WE BOTH LIKE EACH OTHER BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT HE DOESN’T CALL ME OR TRY TO COMMUNICATE WITH ME SO KNOW IM THINKING THAT HE NIGHT BE CHEATING ON MY WITH ANOTHER GIRL WHAT SHOULD I DO

I have a B.S. in Psychology and needless to say I am very unsatisfied with my earnings (I graduated 4 years ago). I am a single mom with two kids so I have to work full-time. My passion is health care, but all the health programs I can find require day-time classes and internships, which are impossible for me. I’m looking for a Masters degree I can complete online, but it needs to be worth the money. I want my salary to be at least $50-60K starting. I have been looking at MBA and Computer Science programs since they seem to be lucrative and are offered online, but I have no background in business or no interest in computers. Any suggestions on good Master’s degree choices? Anything I go into debt for needs to provide a comfortable life for me and my daughters. Please help as I have cried over this many nights.

I live in Dallas, TX
I think its irresponsible to get into more debt pursing Psychology if I’m not going to make a decent salary, even if it is my passion, it will make life harder for my kids.

really want to be with this guy but he’s in a relationship no im not trying to break them up before anyone judge me but i want to be with him.but it piss me off when he compare me to her saying she dont talk to me like you do and he dont trust and believe i could be faithful to him. he make me so sad but i still want to be with him.right now he is in dallas,tx and im in wisconsin he will be coming back before his birthday in may.i need to figure out what im going to do they say if you love something you’ve got to let it go and if it comes back then it means so much more but if it never does,at least you will know that it was something you had to go through to grow do that mean i need to let him go eventually he gon make up his mind even tho he want to be with me his girlfriend is the love of his life.i just dont want him to feel like he made a mistake by being with me.sometimes i get jealous of her and feel like shes better than me and i think about him night && day.idk so stressed.

Hi! My hubby and I got a new puppy, he is about 8 weeks old. We got him 2 weeks ago. We think he was a little too young to be taken away from his mom, but his litter was dumped on a local farm and the farmer just took an ad out in the paper. Little guy had a hard start in life…
Anyways, we have been “crate training” only I realize now we have been going about it all wrong. Dallas is going potty outside, every time I take him out, and he is on a strict schedule. But, at night and at times during the day when I need to get some stuff done inside the house and I can’t watch him, he goes into his crate. I just stick his head in there and hold his behind until he crawls in…. he absolutely HATES his crate. He whines, cries, screams, howls, and barks frantically for about 5-30 minutes…then he stops and either just softly whines or goes to sleep. At first he wasn’t pottying in there….. now it’s almost every time. What can I do???? The crate is just big enough for him to stand up and turn around…that’s what I read to get him. He has a blanket to lay on and a toy to chew on…. what can I do to stop his behavior?? thanks.

Long story short – when I met this guy I was dating last year, I started having constant recurring dreams about us (in a relationship, married, kids, buying a home, etc). Then suddenly he and I stopped talking and even after I helped his family out through some tough times, we still didn’t talk. I just decided to let it go and forget it and I have moved on – found someone else and am very happy and he is with someone else too and what not. However, everytime I go out, I run into him – we still don’t talk but we just see each other. And we don’t go to our usual spots either – always different yet we see each other. Anyway, the last couple of nights I have had dreams about him – the first night, we sat at a table and talked everything out and figured that everything was just a big misunderstanding. Then last night – we were at the beach (we don’t live near a beach) and we talk and kissed and at the end he said “I will see you back in Dallas (where we live) and we’ll celebrate this new relationship.” And we hugged and kissed and then he left while I stayed another couple days. Then I just woke up.

In waking life, I don’t think about him or anything – in fact, if anything, I think he and his family are really shitty for not even appreciating that I helped them out while accepting my help. And him not even telling me that he wanted to break things off makes me not even want to talk to him.

What do the recurring dreams about us being in a relationship mean? And what does us running into each other all the time mean?

Background: Texas, USA. All the assisted-living facilities I hear about are either for 65+ retirees OR if they’re age-appropriate, they’re aimed at people with developmental disabilities. The person for whom I’m trying to help find a good living situation is neither of these. He is 50 years old, still working (as a receptionist for a family business), but no longer able to live alone safely, even with some kind of home visits. He has cognitive impairments such as difficulty with storing new memories, adjusting to changes in a routine, using judgment, and understanding his limitations. Although his condition isn’t multiple sclerosis, advanced MS seems to be the best parallel to help you understand what he is and isn’t able to do.

He has been fiercely independent all his life and cannot quite grasp that living alone just isn’t an option anymore — he uses a power chair that he can’t quite control, has little use of his right arm, falls often, and can’t prepare his own meals, keep track of his medications, or make sound financial decisions. Living with his elderly (also working) parents is hard on him AND on them, and his social life as a single is impaired as well. Even simple things like being able to engage in his preferred routines, such as eating dinner at a certain hour or bathing in the morning rather than at night or on weekends to fit others’ schedule, would be a blessing for him.

For all these reasons, the ideal would be an assisted-living facility where he could have a life separate from his parents’, be around people of similar age, have a daily routine and transportation to work and social events, and have occasional assistance when needed for falls or other setbacks. How can we best find this kind of thing, preferably around Dallas so he could keep the job, which he likes to have?
Update: Thanks for the suggestions so far. To clarify: It’s not a question of whether a facility will *accept* someone his age, as I realize most or all of them will — it’s a question of how to find anywhere that would have a significant number of people his age so he would feel he fit in. Even the “memory care”-type offerings seem to focus on people whose long-term memories are damaged (such as with Alzheimer’s), with nothing for helping people develop an impaired ability to store new memories.

We’ve thought about the living-at-home with an emergency device option, but unfortunately, that doesn’t address his other needs (e.g., a social life independent of his family) nor reduce the likelihood of his falling, and were he to have a seizure, I’m not sure he wouldn’t get help faster in the company of other people. The social needs are also the reason we haven’t gone with any kind of drop-in or live-in helper.

(To the “too many details” person – better too many than not enough.

Ok, I’m going to try to keep this as short as I possibly can. I’m 22 years old and my parents have been divorced since I was 4. As far as my dad’s children, I’m his only. With my mom, she has 4 other children. I’m very close with my 4 siblings. As a child I did what they call “7 and 7″ I did one week with my mom and then one week with my dad. Both of my parents are great. I’m very close with my dad because I’m a lot like him and of course I’m his only so he really spoils me. But that doesnt mean I love my mom any less. Since I was a child I remember her always telling me to just pack up my stuff and just live with my dad because she didnt mean as much to me. Its always been about her. Always about how I “love my dad more” and how I’m not really part of the family. She says she feels like I always pick his side. We’ve talked about it over the years and she’ll say sorry because she knows I love her just the same. Shes just used to having her kids fall all over her and I’m the only child with another parent in their lives that really cares about them. I’ve been living in Dallas the last 4 years because I really wanted to get away from everything. Every time I come home for holidays my mom will get mad when I’m at my dads house saying I dont love her. She makes life miserable for me. Well I moved back home a month ago now (home is Iowa) and I’m buying a condo. Until I get to move in I’m living with my parents (yippie). At my moms house I dont have a room so I have to sleep in my little brothers room. But at my dads house I have a room where I can sleep in MY bed and all my clothes are at my dads. The first week I was back home I stayed at my moms all week. I only saw my dad once. Well this past week I’ve stayed at my dads all week because I have 2 jobs now. I work M-F 8:00-3 then every night from 5-2:00 in the morning. Plus I work Saturday nights. On top of this I’ve been applying for “real office jobs” and dealing with that, as well as dealing with all the loan papers for my condo. My mom text me yesterday and told me to just stay at my dads I’m obviously putting her second anyway, and I’m a real B**ch. She says I’m selfish only love my dad. I dont see what the big deal is. I’ve been staying at my dads because I have my bed to sleep in and I’m busy. Its not liek I’ve been spending time with him. And even if I was, hes my DAD why would it matter if I was? I just dont know what to do anymore. I feel like shes just trying to pick a fight with me and I have no clue how to handle the situation! Please people, you have to give me advice as to what to do. I just dont know anymore. I’m always the one who has to try and resolve things. I love her and I dont want to lose my mom but I’m so afriad thats what will happen one day. My siblings mean way too much to me and she tells them I’m a B**ch becasue I dont love the family and I only love my dad. So my little siblings listen to her. What do I Do??????? I shouldnt have to deal with this anymore, I’m 22 not 12!

(Sorry I know that was long but I really need to get it out there and have people help me!!!!)
