  • Who inherits in Texas?

    My husband bought a house in 2003. We married in 2011. We refinanced this month and put my name (with his) on both the title and mortgage. If something happened to him would I inherit the house or would his daughter inherit a share of it? I know Texas is a communal property state, I just don’t know if it’s considered personal property of his since he originally bought it or if it’s communal property between us since both names are on it.

  • Where would be a good spot for this tattoo?

    My brother passed away two weeks ago and I'd like to get a red heart with his name in typewriter style lettering. I'd like it to be somewhere easily covered, because I have to look professional at work, and I'd like it to not show when I am in my wedding dress. So even though I love shoulder tats, that's out. I've got one on my right foot, so I guess I could do my left, but I'd had that spot picked out for another future tattoo. My ribs maybe? I'm kind of on the chunky side, but I'm loosing weight (20lbs so far). Any good ideas where to put this?

  • Survivor of suicide support groups?

    My brother killed himself a week ago. I'm so lost right now. I haven't been able to sleep. Now I find out that my mom might have cancer. I've had depression for years, and it's hitting hard right now. Does anyone know of any forums or support groups or anything that's free? Or close to it? I had to miss work for a while to deal with this and now I'm going to be behind on bills as it is.

  • Songs for a memorial service.?

    My brother committed suicide this week. I need some songs to play at a memorial service. He really enjoyed punk, and alternative, but I'll take almost any suggestion. The only thing I ask, is no religious music please. He was not religious and neither am I.

  • Help dealing with a loved ones mental illness?

    My boyfriend was recently put on medications for manic depressive disorder and anxiety (but has actually been diagnossed, yet). I've known he has been depressed for a while, and have found it quite easy to be helpful and supportive, since I have major depressive disorder and can relate to him. But these past few days he has been so irritable, and every time he snaps or rolls his eyes my anxiety gets to me. I can't take a Xanax everytime I see him, we live together! How do I help him, and deal with him? And how do I not worry that this stress isn't what I cause everyone else, since they have to deal with me and my mental illness?

  • Questions about getting a minor out of a toxic home.?

    Ok, I need some advice, and I wasn't sure where to put this, but put it here bc I need to know some legal stuff and it gets high traffic. My nephew is 17 and he is a really good kid, but he is in a really bad home situation. My sister and her husband ( his step dad) are emotionally abusive to the kids. My niece can move in with her real dad if need be, but my nephew has nowhere to go. They keep telling him how worthless he is and how he will never amount to anything. Also he needed surgery at one point on his foot and needed dental work done and instead of taking care of that my sis got a boob job. He's not allowed contact with me (my sister disowned me and my brother two years ago saying we were bad influences) but he managed to get my cell number and even came out to the house today. He will probably be in a lot of trouble later, though, because they punished him for speaking to me at christmas this year. He became really depressed about it a while back and tried to drown himself but his friend saved him. He told his school counsilor who told his parents who told him to grow the **** up. He wants to move out. He can't live with us, because laurens mom woulndt let her stay with us with a teenage boy in the house. He can't get an apartment bc he is only 17 and wants to finish high school. Is there a way he can be emancipated in Texas without already living somewhere else and be supporting himself? Would a judge grant him emancipation from his parents when the only proof of his abuse is conversations with his counsilor and a cop? Is there financial aid for emancipated minors? How can I help him? I really want to see him finish high school and get into the fire academy (he wants to be a firefighter) and see him get into some therapy for his depression. He is such a good hearted kid. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I'd prefer something with a short list of ingredients or common ingredients so I don't have to buy much. But if you have something good, I'd love to hear it!

  • Mental Health awareness and fundraising?

    Ive decided I want to get more involved with mental health fundraising and awareness in my area, but I dont really know where to start. If anyone knows of any groups that I can get in contact with, I would appreciate it. Im not currently a student, so I cant start a Active Minds chapter. Also, I live about 45 min south of Ft Worth, Texas, if anyone knows of anything going on locally.

  • what are the chances that im pregnant?

    i have been on the pill for the last 19 days. i have taken it every day, but not at the same time every day. we didnt have sex for a couple of months before i started the pill and when we did before that we used condoms. so if i am pregnant it would be by only a couple of weeks. he still pulled out every time, but i have been so sick to my stomach the past 3 days or so, but dont have a fever. and every where i go, im too hot. i keep wanting to be outside in the cold. i was also lightly spotting today. if i were pregnant would i be sick to my stomach already? or do i just have a stomach bug without a fever?
