About 2 months ago my husband took my daughter who is about to be 13yrs old. He went to stay with his mother. I don't know about if we are going to divorce, but that is not what I am worried about right now. My family has been through allot the last 3 years. Moved. Changed jobs. Husband hurt on the job. But two years ago (during the time my husband was working over 1000 miles away from us in another state) I went throught a major depression. By the way I have suffered from depression since I was a child and it is no excuss, but during this depression I drank and took perscription medication to sleep. Which was pretty much all the time. My son was 15yr old and she was 10yrs old. This only lasted one year, but I can't seem to get past that year with my husband or my son or daughter. Well a few months ago during one of mine and my husbands frustration screaming matches she heard him say that I had not been there for the children during that time and I had no right to tell him how (now that he was going through a depression) to act. At least he is there for the children he said, even though that means very little because he is taking medication for pain and not taking his depression meds. I don't want to sound like I am blaming him, but I know she would never have said those words to me if she had not heard him say them in front of her. I just want to know what to do to make up for that year to her and mend our relationship before so much time has passed that she has grown apart from me. She won't call me on the phone or email me at all now. Maybe I am feeling sorry for myself but I just can't stop crying right now and if I walk in a store and see a mom and daughter holding hands or something I start to cry.....I am crying now just thinking about it. What am I going to do and how can I get a grip on my feelings for her? This pain is almost more than I can take. My son is still with me, but no one can take her place with me. She was my best friend. Please tell me what to do. My heart is breaking here. Thanks.

Why do people ask an OBVIOUSLY offensive question and then think that it makes it LESS offensive if they say "no offense"? Personaly I get MORE offended when someone knows they have to say that! Shouldn't we all come to some sort of understanding that : if you have to ask yourself "I wonder if this is going to offend someone?" that MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T SAY IT OR ASK IT? Am I just crazy or is this a real issue?

I love football and I can't beat them and make them watch it with me. I love college and pro, but it's no fun without someone to root for the opposite team. They both were injured and are bitter about not being able to play.....so they won't watch it. I want a guy to watch football with and scream at the TV with and holler about cheating refs with! AAAggggghhhhh >.<
