I'll try to be as brief as I can, but certain things require detail. Ok, my mom is an extremely strong woman (emotionally) and I feel as though she masks her emotions, at times, because she doesn't want others to worry. My mom has to deal with SO much and it just isn't fair for her to have to carry all the weight on her shoulders alone. I feel as though if the issues at hand get worse, so can my mom. I feel like she may just break down and lose it one of these days. To be quite honest I'm surprised she has stayed sane for so long.

Here's the deal, My grandpa (her dad) has been having medical issues for a few years now, but recently it has taken a turn for the worse. Not that he's dead, or on his death bed for that matter, but he is getting there...unfortunately. In this past year he has been having multiple trips to the hospital with multiple issues with I don't even know exactly because they don't tell me everything, but things such as artery clogging, heart failure, lungs filling up with fluid from pneumonia and other things that happen with age. Actually, just yesterday (10 hours ago) he was having trouble breathing and was taken to the hospital by an ambulance. He was stabilized soon after and they said later that he was having heart failure and fluid was getting into his lungs. So that's the current situation with her dad (her mom died when I was like 4, I barely remember her at all).

Ok, on top of the situation with her dad, her sister recently got into some really bad **** with her husband and their relationship is apparently over with completely. I just got back from my first year of college 4 days ago and I'm hearing all this news at once and it's a lot for me to deal with as well, but for my mom it's her dad and sister we're talking about... This is her sister who is a year older than her, who she went to school with all her life (including college), who shares mutual friends with one another whom they still see together to this day and they have been really close to each other and I to her kids. My cousins ( her kids) are really close to me and I hang out with them extremely often, so it's hard for me to fathom the fact that their parents are getting a divorce after having been together since college...and their in their 50's now... Honestly that is crazy to think of, but there is a reason. My uncle, of which I thankfully have no relation to, has Huntington's disease (at least we are 80% sure he does) but he refuses to get checked for it or to get help/treatment. He has literally lost his mind and is going insane. Maybe not killing frenzy insane, but ******* up his entire life insane. From what I have heard so far (this being tonight, like 40 mins ago from my younger brother) he has been verbally abusing and degrading her for the longest time and just making her feel worthless. He comes from an extremely wealthy family, and his father had Huntington's disease as well (50% chance of your children getting it if you had/have it) Which also scares me because they have 5 kids of whom I all personally know and care about who all have a 1 in 2 chance of having this horrid illness. Back to what I was saying, he is wealthy and they run a business together out of their house. On to the dispute...So from what I've been told about 2-3 weeks ago they had a really bad argument and my uncle hit my aunt in the face. At that point my aunt just left, she went to my grandfathers (also her dads) who was in the hospital for quite some time but came back a few days ago, and then went back today as i said before. But for about 3 weeks now my uncle has not known where she is, and believe me she doesn't want him to know where she is. To wrap it up, My aunts marriage has completely fallen apart and my uncle has literally lost his mind and thinks that everybody hates him, literally EVERYONE, but my aunt. For whatever reason he is obsessed with her and has been constantly trying to find her.

So, now that you know most of what is going on you can see why my mom has a lot to deal with, but there is more...

My dad has been unemployed for 3 years now and my mom has been the one bringing home the income for too long now. I feel as though it is time for my dad to maybe go out of his comfort zone and get a god damn job that may not be under his exact classification. It sucks to say it, but even on my moms salary, which is a good amount of money, it still isn't enough to afford 3 kids, one being in college (me) and my brother who will be this upcoming fall. Not only that but my dads attitude is just awful. He gets mad about the dumbest ****, I mean honestly some of these things are so trivial he needs to grow up.

With all of this going on I can just see the worry, the pain, the stress, and the madness in my moms face and it just depresses me to see her like this because she is such an upbeat loving person. I f

This is not me bragging or anything, trust me, im still a virgin, believe it or not. I'm a pretty shy dude...when im sober...haha, but seriously this has been really bugging me lately. So, I'm a freshman in college and this question is about when girls check us guys out.

I don't understand how i don't pick up on signs and signals or whatever you want to call it that girls give when they're checking me out. Literally today alone i was told by some guys on my frisbee team, whom i hardly know that these two chicks that they sorta knew were checkin me out. It's gotten to the point where even my mom notices, but that's understandable since she's a woman. I get looks here and there that i don't know how to perceive or act upon. I mean i just live my life I typically don't pick up on a girls desires unless they come and talk to me. Even this weekend when i went to this party i went with a buddy of mine who went with a group of about 9 people 4 of which were girls. One of them was apparently "all over me" that night and I failed to see how. I mean i was pretty trashed, but i didn't black out or anything. I dunno, this is really me just thinking out loud trying to find the answer to my problems, if you comprehend what i'm talking about feel free to give me your opinion on what you think I'm failing to see/do whatever.

Thanks, Adam

I'm doing a paper on macbeth...obviously, and i chose to base it on macbeth's downfall. The three subtopics that contribute to his downfall that i chose are the three witches, lady macbeth and macbeth himself. Now if you're here to blab on some reasons as to why his downfall occurred then save you're breath. All i need is 3 quotes for each subtopic(the witches, lady macbeth and macbeth himself) about why it contributed to his downfall.
