I had a confidential conversation with my boss about colleagues. I asked before beginning of it was a safe environment and that it would be held in confidence and never leave the room. It was agreed. My boss did talk about what I said to other people and eventually it made it back to the person. That person was then hired to be my immediate boss fully knowing about the conversation. I am stuck working in this situation and I don’t know what to do. I am being silently treated very badly as punishment.

I know that I don t have my act together ... Too much to do and not enough time...I am disorganised by nature and struggle to improve. I am overwhelmed by my day to day life and also over the past years have had to face many personal tragedies. I struggle with facing and handling these more or less alone. I fall asleep early and don t do my share of the housework and am not there most evenings to keep him company. But I also have a 2 hour commute every day whereas he works close to our house. He acts angry and judgmental around me. I need support and love at this point in my life and I thought that a husband would be that for me. I am not sure what to do. Should I look elsewhere for this loving support? Divorce is not an option for me. But life is painful and guilt ridden for me.

My daughter is 6 years old and was diagnosed with Rolandic seizures about 10 months ago. She just had a 10 second seizure tonight. I don't know if it happens more often or even during the day when I am not with her. I am worried about her swimming at summer camp. Does anyone have any advice?

A friend helps in my mom's business office. She has the same small business herself and knows how to run it. Should EI and CPP be deducted and paid to the government if my mom pays her for running the business for her??

Husband needs to see his parents more than I want to. I have no family left because they all have died within the past 4 years , mom dad and sister. His parents stress me out and I used to go visit as a balance to be able to see my family. But now I have no family left to see and it pains me to see only his family for every holiday and at least once every month. I dread those visits and don't want to spend the rest of my life living in dread. My husband says "so I can't see my family then?" whenever I say that I think we see them too much. I am trying to find a way to figure out a way to be happy . We have kids together and divorce would damage them. If I don't go to visit or say that I don't want to spend every holiday with them then my husband makes me feel guilty and that he is hard done by. I never again get to see my family and this fact doesn't seem to register with him. This situation is making me really not love him because I feel like he doesn't care that I am hurting and he won't give anything without a guilt trip attached. I am not coming up with any positive solutions.

My doctor ordered this ultrasound because I have a bloated abdomen and discomfort. I'm worried that it might be cancer. My mom died three years ago with colon cancer and ovarian cancer.

My husband uses our children to get his parents approval and their attention. If I say anything, he says that I don't like his parents. I do like his parents. I just think that he acts like he is a child trying to get his parents to pay attention to him. I think that some of the things he does and says are a bit strange. Example, he creates little tasks for them to do for their grandchildren just so he has something to talk about with them. It just doesn't seem like a grown up relationship to me.

The gas stove is about 15 years old. The pilot light goes out and the house fills with gas. Is it time to get a new stove?
