    I really need advice

    Well, after 4 months of my niece living with us, she decided she no longer liked living here when I started making her go to tutoring, when I started fussing at her over her grades, when I busted her in numerous lies, when I got mad at her for trying to burn things in her room, when she left a...

    Husband doesn't understand how acts of service makes me desire him

    You will make a WONDERFUL husband. Now if only I could get MY husband to understand all of this. I feel like I do EVERYTHING while all he does is go to a job he enjoys, comes home and his day is done. I only work part time but my work never ends. Then at night when he wants to be intimate, I...

    Is it normal to go long periods of time where

    OP, I feel like that a LOT. I've been married for 19 years. I love my husband and care for him, but sometimes I don't feel like I'm "in love". I don't want to be touched and I don't want to be intimate. I've gone from dr to dr and while I DO have low testosterone levels which can cause my...

    I really need advice

    *sigh* I am wondering if we did the right thing. My niece has been with us since late July. She's failing math and English BUT her teachers and guidance counselor are working with her and her grades are slowly coming up. She's got A's and B's in all of her other classes. She's not...

    I really need advice

    Update: Summer school ended Wednesday and she moved in yesterday. Things this past month were awful for her. They continuously threw her bad choices from the past in her face. She would let them know what she had repented a long time ago for those choices and had changed, but they just kept...

    In what ways do you think God is honored in your marriage?

    Well, we met at 16, married at 18 and are getting ready to celebrate our 19th year of marriage. So, I think it's safe to say that he's blessed us in numerous ways!

    dealing with toxic parents or in laws

    OH, but they claim that everyone else around them is evil and that WE are the ones that are "full of the devil". I'm telling you, they're nuts.

    dealing with toxic parents or in laws

    WHAT?! You mean I'm not the only one with toxic in-laws?! Mine are complete nuts. Sorry, but I'm just being honest.

    I really need advice

    Continued prayers needed. In-laws have been horrible throughout these past 3 weeks. They are SO mean to her. The only thing they do is criticize her and tell her she's full of the devil when they talk to her on the phone. DH said it was the same way for him when he was growing up. They are...

    I really need advice

    It looks like this is now permanent. The in-laws stopped by today, wouldn't come in, asked for me to send her out and they basically just asked her why she didn't want to come home and then proceeded to tell her how much she's hurt them. She told them that they hurt her too and they said she was...

    We've had my niece for 4 days now. Not sure if this is going to be permanent or just temporary. Continued prayers would be appreciated.

    I really need advice

    She also is failing 11th grade. She will be almost 20 before she graduates at this point. I think the best option for her would be for her to get her GED, but my in-laws aren't going to allow that to happen and once she turns 18, I can't drive her to the college each day for classes. She doesn't...

    I really need advice

    My parents had to do the same with my sister and I think this will be the case with my niece. Only problem is that she's less than 4 months shy of being 18 and free to do what she wants. The state isn't going to step in at this point. I wish I could post everything so you could truly understand...

    I really need advice

    Oh, the amount of things that has happened since my first post is unbelievable. And now my in-laws are just imprisoning them even more. I fear that my niece will end up dead before long if things don't soon change. This isn't your typical teenage rebellion going on.

    I really need advice

    Oh, and T is back to posting pictures of herself with shorts rolled up as high as they can go, shirt tied up showing her belly, etc. She's using her body to gain attention from boys. At home, she's constantly being degraded, told that she's trashy, told that nobody wants her; therefore she's...

    I really need advice

    I'll check into that. Thanks. They were supposed to come spend the day here today but my mil now says no. They are mad at me because T keeps saying she's moving in with us when she turns 18. They keep telling her that we don't want her and neither does anyone else. I told T that while I wish...

    I really need advice

    Gpa has NEVER been mean to Gma. I know that. He protects her. DH said once his oldest brother said "That's stupid" over something that his mom said and his dad grabbed his brother by the throat, threw him to the floor and when he got up, he had his brothers shirt in his hand. DH went home...

    I really need advice

    I don't know. My head is spinning and I feel like spitting fire right now. As it got closer to time for DH's parents to come get the girls, T went outside and was just sitting out there. When they got here, her entire demeanor changed. Why? I'll tell you why. Dh's dad sat on the couch and A (the...

    I really need advice

    I still have both of my nieces here. This morning, my mother-in-law called and asked how things were going and I said "Wonderful". Well, that made her mad and she said she wanted them home. Then she called back a few minutes later crying and told me that I could keep them until this evening. T...
