I've always had a hard time making friends, I was pretty much bullied kindergarten through 10th grade. I ended up dropping out cause of social anxiety as a result of bullying. I've seen therapists and been on meds- nothing helps!

My boyfriend moved our kids and I to a new town, 2 hours away from our hometown cause of his job. I absolutely hate it here! Two years and not one friend- it doesn't help that this town is so clique-y. It's a small town it seems like if you weren't born here NOBODY gives a rats *** about you. It also seems like EVERYONE hates me, nobody has given me a chance and they are all sooo mean with their stares, glares, and judgement. I feel so depressed! What can I do to get over this hurdle in my life?? I need a friend someone to give me advice!

Any advice? Please don't be mean with your comments and DON'T judge.

I need some advice, my bf and I have been dating for over 8yrs and have two BEAUTIFUL kids. The problem is that he's never really around to help. He has never read a book to our kids, he's never given them a bath, he won't take time off for school parties/concerts, he refuses to pick our daughter up from school cause he "doesn't like the school setting" it apparently brings back bad memories for him. Our daughters birthday is next weekend when he has to work but, he won't take it off, he just took last Saturday off to go drinking with friends and cousins and didn't come home till the afternoon. He's constantly leaving me at home alone to care for OUR kids while he goes out and drinks with friends. He has practically no involvement in our kids lives! What do I do?? Is it time to leave him? I've tried telling him how I feel but he thinks I'm trying to "control" him.

The past few weeks my stomach has been very,VERY sensitive. My stomach hurts really bad especially after eating spicy or fried foods or foods with vinegar (like pickles or buffalo sauce). It's kind of like a burning sensation in my stomach accompanied by bloating/gas... I also have had extremely bad heartburn. Could this be an ulcer or IBS or something more serious like cancer?!

I just had my wisdom teeth (all 4) pulled last Friday 5days ago and the only pain I have is on my left bottom side. I looked in the mirror tonight and noticed the gum surrounding my bottom left molar is pulling away from my tooth and it looks a little inflamed compared to the other side of my jaw and I've also had an ear ache only my my left side! So I'm wondering if it's normal for the gums to pull away from my tooth like that or should I call the oral surgeon in the morning?

Who is your fave & why?

My kids 3 & 5 are both sick with croup cough (barking seal cough, fevers, runny nose etc...) They obviously don't feel like doing much of anything except lay in front of the tv (I feel horrible for letting them do it) but what else can I do with them?! It seems like once they start getting active their cough gets worse! I guess I'm wondering what other parents do? Is it ok to let them lay in front of the tv?! Please be nice no need to be rude!

Is it a movie that a 3 & 5 year old could sit through and enjoy?

I need some comforting words! I'm getting

my wisdom teeth taken out in two weeks and I'm extremely scared!!! I saw on the news the other day about a girl that died from this procedure! I've been under anesthesia before so I know I shouldn't have any complications from it... My dentist also noticed I have like a tumor/growth on my jaw and she said in rare cases it could be cancer so they also have to do a biopsy of my jaw! Can this "tumor" be from wisdom teeth?! Also I guess I want to know is it safe to get my wisdom teeth pulled?! Will i be ok? How long is recovery time? Please no smartass comments! Share your story or opions, comforting words!!!

I don't know what to do! I've been with my boyfriend for 8 years and we have

two beautiful children- boy & girl! I'm currently on Mirena iud and I HATE it! Birth control side effects mess with me soooo bad wether it's pill,patch, or iud. Boyfriend said he doesn't want anymore kids and right now I don't want anymore either. It scares me cause what if we break up and I meet someone else who wants kids of their own! Then what?? Is getting your tubes tied reversible? Anyone else get their tubes tied are you glad you did or do you regret it?! Please help!! I need some advice or give me your opinion!
